[The middle third of the face in facial lift: lipopexy of the premalar fatty pad].

Unlabelled: The technique proposed tries to resolve an irritating problem which has been incompletely and illogically resolved until now: the restoration of the natural relief of the middle third of the face. An anatomical study shows that the malar region is an eminence composed of a double structure, bony and fatty. The ptosis of what the authors propose to call "the premalar fatty pad" is probably the earliest sign of ageing in the face.
