Background: Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) can cause serious complications during facial augmentation. Previous studies have reported complications following PAAG injections to correct tear troughs. Methods: We report a rare case of tear trough deformity following PAAG injections. We developed a comprehensive treatment plan including transcutaneous blepharoplasty and fat grafting to address the presenting complications. Results: The patient showed flat lower lids and no more complications 1 year after surgery. Conclusions: Blepharoplasty combined with fat grafting is an effective approach to eliminate PAAG injection complications in tear troughs.
