The recent identification of the facial fat compartments has greatly affected our understanding of midfacial aging. This article chronicles the discovery of these fat compartments including the shift of attention from a purely gravitational to a volumetric approach to facial aging and the series of methodologies attempted to ultimately define the anatomy of these compartments. The revived interest in volumetric facial rejuvenation including compartment-guided augmentation techniques is discussed. Lastly, the article discusses interesting distributional patterns noted in these fat compartments likely related to the different mechanical and biologic environments of the deep and superficial facial fat pads.
近期对面部脂肪腔室的识别极大地影响了我们对中面部衰老的理解。本文记录了这些脂肪腔室的发现过程，包括从单纯的重力作用视角到容积法对面部衰老的认识转变，以及为最终明确这些腔室的解剖结构而尝试的一系列方法。文中还讨论了对容积式面部年轻化（包括腔室引导下的填充技术）重新燃起的兴趣。最后，本文探讨了在这些脂肪腔室中观察到的有趣分布模式，这些模式可能与面部深层和浅层脂肪垫不同的力学及生物学环境有关。
