Abstract
The author emphasizes and clarifies some disputed anatomical points based on topographical histological studies of the superficial muscular and fibrous layers of the face and neck, made in 8 cadavers, 6 human fetuses, 3 monkeys, and 42 surgical specimens. The findings in this anatomical study should make certain plastic surgical operations of the face more understandable, especially the rhytidectomy as it is done today.
