Correcting suborbital malar hypoplasia and related boney deficiencies
Abstract:
The uncomplicated correction of tear trough and related nasojugal groove deformities continues to elude many surgeons. In spite of available fillers and other "implantables," the author contends that silicone elastomer tear trough implants continue to be the most effective method for correcting the true boney tear trough deformity, while malar-orbicularis-periosteal release and elevation with secure 2-layered canthopexy offers optimal correction for the nasojugal groove. Here is a guide to his technique and materials.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
