Overview
The palpebromalar groove divides the cheeks from the lower eyelid. The underlying anatomic structure that causes the formation of this groove is the orbicularis retaining ligament. Understanding that this grove is natural and normal to have, creates aesthetic difficulties when addressing this aesthetic concern. In this video, various techniques utilizing both needles and cannulas are demonstrated focusing on anatomy and on the clinical outcome.
