title: Subcutaneous approach for elevation of the malar fat pad through a prehairline incision.
abstract: In summary, vertical suspension of the malar fat pad has been a safe procedure that results in the creation of a more youthful cheek and a lessening of the prominence of the nasolabial folds. No complications were encountered in this series with the suture suspension of the malar fat pad.
