    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Aesthetics
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Aging leads to descent of facial fat pads, causing contour deformities.
    • Loss of malar fat pad support contributes to lower eyelid laxity and prominent nasolabial folds.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate suture elevation of the malar fat pad as a surgical technique.
    • To assess the efficacy of this procedure in restoring facial youthfulness.

    Main Methods:

    • Suture elevation of the malar fat pad.
    • Incision placement varied (prehairline, subciliary, intraoral) based on patient needs.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure effectively reestablished youthful malar contour.
    • Improvements were noted in lower eyelid length and nasolabial crease appearance.

    Conclusions:

    • Suture elevation of the malar fat pad is a simple, safe, and reliable facial rejuvenation technique.
    • It offers versatile access options for tailored surgical outcomes.
