Abstract: Facial aging occurs in all facial anatomy, with changes in facial bones, ligaments, muscles, fascia, fat, and skin with aging. Since the concept of the facial fat compartments was first proposed in 2007, research on the aging of the facial fat compartments has continued to emerge. The author introduced the understanding of the anatomy of facial fat compartments and the morphological changes of fat compartments during aging by domestic and foreign scholars in recent years, and summarized the strategies for facial rejuvenation based on fat compartments, which will help clinicians understand the relationship between fat compartments and facial aging.
