The malaris muscle has long been described as one of the facial muscles. Numerous studies have attempted to define and examine the malaris muscle owing to its clinical implications related to the facial aesthetic concept. In the anatomical context, however, the concept of the malaris muscle remains ambiguous. This review article proposes a reconsideration of the malaris muscle. The article focuses on the anatomical concept of the malaris muscle from previous studies to the current studies as well as the conceptual changes in the malaris muscle. To improve understanding of the role of the malaris muscle in the facial aesthetic aspects, here the article reviews the role of the malaris muscle in facial aging appearance and discusses the practical clinical applications surrounding this aging gradation.
颧肌长期以来一直被描述为面部肌肉之一。由于其与面部美学概念相关的临床意义，众多研究试图对颧肌进行定义和研究。然而，在解剖学背景下，颧肌的概念仍然模糊不清。这篇综述文章提议重新审视颧肌。文章重点关注从以往研究到当前研究中颧肌的解剖学概念，以及颧肌概念的变化。为了更好地理解颧肌在面部美学方面的作用，本文在此回顾了颧肌在面部衰老外观中的作用，并讨论了围绕这种衰老分级的实际临床应用。
