Abstract :

In this talk, I will explore the increased use of fillers for aesthetic rejuvenation of the face that have been mirrored by innovation of different filler agents, increased patient demand, and also increased awareness of filler complications. It is, therefore, essential that aesthetic providers understand the different aspects of facial anatomy to improve both aesthetic outcomes, as well as patient satisfaction. I will discuss facial anatomy via aesthetic subunit with special attention to vasculature, soft tissue compartments (including ligamentous boundaries and fat compartments), fascial planes, and bony landmarks to help guide physicians/providers toward safer and improved outcomes. I will utilize intra op surgical photographs and landmark anatomical articles to illustrate the anatomical points.
