    Definitions of groove and hollowness of the infraorbital region and clinical treatment using soft-tissue filler.
    Arch Plast Surg 2018 May 15;45(3):214-221. Epub 2018 May 15.
    Samskin Plastic Surgery Clinic, Seoul, Korea.
    Clarification is needed regarding the definitions and classification of groove and hollowness of the infraorbital region depending on the cause, anatomical characteristics, and appearance. Grooves in the infraorbital region can be classified as nasojugal grooves (or folds), tear trough deformities, and palpebromalar grooves; these can be differentiated based on anatomical characteristics. They are caused by the herniation of intraorbital fat, atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous fat, contraction of the orbital part of the orbicularis oculi muscle or squinting, and malar bone resorption.

    Autologous Fat Transfer for Facial Rejuvenation: A Systematic Review on Technique, Efficacy, and Satisfaction.
    Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open 2017 Dec 22;5(12):e1606. Epub 2017 Dec 22.
    Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, Maastricht University Medical Center, Maastricht, The Netherlands; Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, VU Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, VU Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
    Background: Parallel to the steady decline in surgical aesthetic procedures to the face, dermal fillers seem to have gained a more prominent place in facial rejuvenation over the last couple of years. As a dermal, facial filler, autologous fat transfer (AFT) seems to have real potential because of the biocompatibility of adipose tissue besides being a procedure with few and primarily minor complications.
