Overview
The chin zone receives arterial blood supply from multiple arteries which include the mental, the submental, the submandibular, the facial, the inferior labial, and the horizontal labiomental arteries. These arteries form a dense arterial vascular network which needs to be respected and understood when soft tissue fillers are injected. Although no injection simulations are performed, this video is best suited for briefly freshen up on chin anatomy prior to clinical treatments.
