Course Description
A tired facial look and dark circles around the eyes can be a reflection of volume loss of the medial infraorbital region: the tear trough. Soft tissue filler injections have been shown to improve such aesthetic conditions. Given the complex anatomy of the upper midface and of the medial infraorbital region, the tear trough is a technical particularly challenging facial region. In this video, the anatomy is explained in detail following a layer-by-layer dissection. In addition, the deep cannula injection technique in an inferior approach is demonstrated.
Learning Objectives
Describe the layered anatomy of the upper middle face and periorbital region
Appraise the complexities of the arterial and venous vasculature of the periorbital region
Compare the dangers and benefits of using a deep cannula technique in an inferior injection approach to treat the tear trough deformity
