ABSTRACT Understanding key anatomical concepts of the face is important in order to be able to treat a patient effectively in any aesthetic treatment. With a robust anatomical knowledge of the occipito-frontalis muscle, the clinician can appreciate how each patient’s anatomy may vary and how the clinician’s choice of injection placement with botulinum toxin A reflects this. Recent detailed anatomical studies of this area provide further clarification regarding static, dynamic and functional anatomy. Through critical analysis of this data, it is possible to tailor treatments on an individual basis.
ABSTRACT Lower face lift has historically been the preserve of the surgical specialty. However, owing to the increasing anatomical knowledge of facial ageing through cadaveric study and non-surgical lifting techniques we are now able to achieve excellent outcomes with injectables. The ongoing advancements in filler science, technology and development of sophisticated injection techniques also contribute to the success of the injection facelift.
