Deep cheek fat flap: new technique to augment the soft tissues of the mandibular alveolus

Deep cheek fat is found in distinct compartments, which are separated by septae1 and, together with other compartments of facial fat, are currently "hot" topics in the rejuvenation of the face. They serve as a map for facial ageing, and are considered to be the best positioning system for injecting fillers.2 Apart from the buccal fat pad, however, this extraoral fat has not, to the best of my knowledge, been used in implant dentistry.
