Objectives: - identify essential anatomical structures of temples and forehead in patient's face
- identify dangerous zones
- learn about proper patient and product selection
- learn safe injections techniques for forehead and temples augmentation
Introduction: The forehead, brow and temple are contiguous areas and should be regarded as one aesthetic unit when planning treatment of the upper face. Age-associated facial volume loss occurs via a combination of soft tissue laxity, lipoatrophy, as well as bone resorption. These structural changes contribute to a flattening of the forehead, brow ptosis and lateral orbital hooding. The temple and forehead are technically more challenging to treat than other facial areas, and the rate of severe complications including tissue necrosis and blindness after volume restoration is consequently higher.
Materials / method: A thorough knowledge of the applied anatomy is therefore essential to safely perform injections in these higher risk indications.
Results: Applied anatomy and safest injection techniques for forehead and temples augmentation will be demonstrated on a live patient.
