Abstract P34. The Anterior SMAS Approach to Facelifting

RESULTS: The medial and lateral parts of the deep medial cheek fat compartment (DMC) were separated by a septum arising from the lateral border of the levator angular oris muscle. The angular vein traveled between the DMC and the buccal fat pad, 12 mm from the maxilla bone. A total volume of 29.3 ml fat was grafted per cheek for each patient. A 12-month follow-up revealed an average volume augmentation rate of 27.1%. Pleasing and elevated anterior projection of the cheek and ameliorated nasolabial groove were still obvious by 12 months after the procedure. In total, 95.2% of the patients were satisfied with their results.
