Experience with percutaneous suspension of the malar fat pad for midface rejuvenation. [Journal Article, Review]
Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am 2005 Aug; 13(3):393-9.
Repositioning of the ptotic malar fat pad represents a key element of midface rejuvenation. Traditional face-lifting techniques have been minimally effective in correcting the midface changes commonly seen in aging. Many candidates, especially younger patients, desire procedures that have rapid recovery times with reduced risk and the absence of visible incisions. Percutaneous suspension of the malar fat pad to reposition it in a more youthful position is a minimally invasive technique producing a long lasting elevation that would be a welcomed addition to midface rejuvenation.
