PG - S19-28 LID - 10.1097/DSS.0000000000000275 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Despite extensive clinical experience with onabotulinumtoxinA, few data exist on patient satisfaction or safety with continuous treatment. OBJECTIVE: This international multicenter study evaluated patient satisfaction and safety with long-term continuous facial aesthetic treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA. METHODS: Retrospective chart review with a cross-sectional design was used to assess onabotulinumtoxinA treatment, including dosing, concomitant facial aesthetic medications and procedures, and adverse events (AEs). Validated Facial Line Satisfaction Questionnaire, Self-Perception of Age measure, and Facial Line Outcomes questionnaire instruments, and a de novo questionnaire were used to determine patient satisfaction. RESULTS: A total of 207 patients consisted of the intent-to-treat population, with 194 in the per protocol analyses. Patients received a total of 4,402 glabellar treatments over a mean of 9.1 years, with a mean dose of 21.6 U per treatment. Overall, 92.3% of patients were mostly or very satisfied. Among the 89.7% of patients who reported looking younger, the mean perceived age was 6.9 years younger. Documented AEs were infrequent, mostly mild in severity, and declined in frequency over time. LIMITATIONS: This population was self-selecting as they chose to continue treatment for 5 or more years to be eligible. CONCLUSION: Continuous treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA for a mean of 9.1 years was associated with very high patient satisfaction.
