Abstract
Malar prominences have long been considered as an important aesthetic area on the face, yet the technique of malar augmentation has not been standardized and made available to the general public. Our technique of suspension malarplasty, performed through an intraoral Caldwell–Luc-type incision, offers excellent exposure with complete visualization of vital structures in the malar-zygomatic region. The implant is herd in position with a stay suture exited at the temple area. This report retrospectively analyzes the complications and results of 182 patients receiving malar implants during a follow-up period of 36 months. The procedure entails minimal operating time, few complications, and high patient acceptance. The creation of more prominent cheekbones can provide patients who have an elongated, flat midface or square jaws with a more pleasing appearance in both frontal and oblique views, therefore enhancing the results of other facial cosmetic procedures.
