Tear trough implantation may be associated with a number of well-reported complications. To our knowledge, penetration of the lacrimal sac has never been reported as a complication of malar or tear trough implants. We report a case of lacrimal sac penetration discovered at the time of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy surgery in a patient who developed epiphora soon after the tear trough implant was placed.
