Patrick Tonnard

Patrick Tonnard is a Belgian plastic surgeon practicing in the city of Ghent. In cooperation with Alexis Verpaele, he developed the Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS) facelift, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 2002. Later authors have referred to the procedure as the "Tonnard and Verpaele technique." The same journal published his team's description of nanofat grafting in 2013, a paper later cited as the introduction of the technique by systematic reviews in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
