Augmentation and corrective malarplasty.

Augmentation and corrective malarplasty are relatively new procedures that require careful preoperative evaluation to ensure that the effect produced will blend harmoniously with the existing facial structure. A variety of implant types and materials are available to accommodate varying needs, and several surgical approaches are now used. This article discusses in detail the author's use of the subciliary lower eyelid approach, which rarely requires implant fixation, involves minimal postoperative care, and produces very few complications. Advantages of this approach are discussed, as is the incidental finding of decreased depth of the nasolabial furrow.
