Confusion over nomenclature also arises with regard to the subcutaneous ligamentous attachments, and in the anatomic location and extent described, particularly for zygomatic and masseteric ligaments. Certain historical terms\u2014McGregor\u2019s patch, the platysma auricular ligament, parotid cutaneous ligament, platysma auricular fascia, temporoparotid fasica (Lore\u2019s fascia), anterior platysma-cutaneous ligament, and platysma cutaneous ligament\u2014delineate retaining ligaments of related anatomic structures that have been conceptualized in various ways. Confusion around the masseteric cutaneous ligaments arises from inconsistencies in their reported locations in the literature because the size and location of the parotid gland varies so much, and this affects the relationship between the parotid gland and the fascia of the masseter muscle. For the zygomatic ligaments, there is disagreement over how far they extend, with descriptions varying over whether they extend medially beyond the zygomaticus minor muscle. Even the \u2018main\u2019 zygomatic ligament\u2019s denotation may vary depending on which subcutaneous plane is used as a reference for naming it. Recent popularity in procedures using threads or injectables has required not only an accurate understanding of the nomenclature of retaining ligaments, but also of their location and extent. The authors have here summarized each retaining ligament with a survey of the different nomenclature that has been introduced by different authors within the most commonly cited published papers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2017.44.4.266","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,19]],"date-time":"2017-07-19T23:53:33Z","timestamp":1500508413000},"page":"266-275","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5999\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Review of the Nomenclature of the Retaining Ligaments of the Cheek: Frequently Confused Terminology"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Yeui Seok","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Area88 Plastic Surgery Clinic, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer Kim","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VIVA Plastic Surgery Clinic, Busan, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tae Suk","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seong Ihl","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDEA Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanvaa","family":"Tansatit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Chula Soft Cadaver Surgical Training Center and Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joo Heon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Area88 Plastic Surgery Clinic, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Face lift techniques.
