Abstract
The fatty tissue of the face is divided into compartments. The structures delimiting these compartments help shape the face, are involved in aging, and are encountered during surgical procedures. To study the border between the lateral-temporal and the middle cheek fat compartments of the face. We studied 40 human cadaver heads with gross dissections and macroscopic and histological sections. Gelatin was injected into the subcutaneous tissues of 35 heads. A sheet of connective tissue, comparable to a septum, was consistently found between the lateral-temporal and the middle compartments. We call this structure the septum subcutaneum parotideomassetericum. There is a distinct septum between the lateral-temporal and the middle fat compartments of the face.
