Department of Plastic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA
Aesthet Surg J 29:189-93. 2009..Previous studies have stated that these fat pads exist as three compartments in the lower eyelids.

Plast Reconstr Surg 121:1414-20. 2008..questions: (1) Why do soft tissues over the mandibular body appear to be tethered to the jaw, restricting inferior descent? (2) Why does characteristic surface anatomy appear as it does? (3) What is the anatomical basis of jowl fat?.. - Curve analysis of the aging orbital apertureJoel E Pessa
Hendrick Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA
Plast Reconstr Surg 109:751-5; discussion 756-60. 2002..C. Statistical analyses suggest that postadult differential growth results in progressive distortion of the orbital aperture. These changes may have both cosmetic and functional consequences...
