Objectives: We provide a detailed exploration of the ultrasound anatomy of the facial artery, which is essential for safe injection procedures. We will explain the arterial path from the neck (common carotid artery) to the face (external and internal carotid artery) and show the dynamic relationship between the facial artery and surrounding structures of the ophthalic artery using ultrasound images.

Introduction: The facial artery is a vital component of the circulatory system, responsible for delivering blood to the face and its adjacent structures. This article delves into the detailed sono-anatomy of the facial artery, tracing its path from the neck to the face while specifically highlighting the temple region concerning injectable procedures. The facial artery's journey begins within the carotid triangle, where it originates from the external carotid artery, slightly above the lingual artery. Its course is marked by complex interactions with various surrounding structures.

Materials / method: The presentation discusses the facial artery's origin and journey, beginning from its emergence within the carotid triangle and proceeding through the neck, mandible, and face. It elaborates on the artery's dynamic relationship with muscles, fascia, nerves, and integument at various anatomical points. Additionally, the presentation emphasizes the potential significance of this knowledge in injectable procedures, where inadvertent damage to the facial artery can have severe consequences.

Results: The facial artery, a vital component of the circulatory system, plays a crucial role in supplying blood to the face and surrounding structures. Understanding its intricate anatomical course is essential for various medical and surgical procedures. In this presentation, I delve into the detailed sono-anatomy of the facial artery, elucidating its path from the neck to the face, while also exploring temple region for injectables.

Conclusion: The sono-anatomy of the facial artery is a crucial knowledge area for medical professionals engaged in facial injectable procedures. By comprehending the facial artery's intricate path and its ever-changing relationships with adjacent structures, practitioners can enhance patient safety and minimize the risk of adverse events during injectable treatments. This knowledge serves as a foundation for precise and safe practices

Objectives: To describe the characteristics of Asian nose and the common indications for treatment
Identify challenges in Nose augmentation
Enumerate and explain the strategies to have safe and improved outcomes

Introduction: Asian noses have a specific morphology and goals of augmentation usually involve projection of dorsum and tip. Rhinoplasty both surgical and non-surgical has become really popular in Asia. Under non-surgical option, fillers and threads are two options. With the scare of vascular compromise and blindness from nose fillers, threads have become a more preferred alternative. Threads however, may pose some challenges including complications and unsatisfactory outcomes. This presentation aims to provide some practical tips on how to overcome these challenges.

Materials / method: Anatomy of the nose and its relevance to thread techniques will be discussed. Thread design and composition will also be shown. Key strategies in technique will also be presented through a video of the procedures. Sample before and after photos of patients will be included in the presentation.

Conclusion: Knowledge of anatomy, having a good quality thread material and proper placement of threads is vital to prevent serious complications. Correct assessment, proper technique, and an artistic touch would then contribute to better outcomes. Patient satisfaction is key and the goals of the treatment should align with the patient's desires.

Objectives: Age-related sagging of the midface, or midfacial ptosis, is a common aesthetic concern. Barbed threads offer a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for lifting and repositioning facial tissues. This study aims to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of barbed threads for the correction of midfacial ptosis over a 96-week period.

Objectives: The pathogenesis of marionette lines involves a complex interplay of anatomical, physiological, and age‐related factors leading to the development of wrinkles around the oral commissures. This exploration delves into the distinct anatomical predispositions observed among different ethnicities, emphasizing the role of compact modiolus structures and muscle compositions. Notably, individuals of East Asian descent exhibit inherent facial structures that predispose them to pronounced sagging around the oral commissures during aging. The emergence of distinct facial lines, such as the commissural l
