Overview
The jawline hosts major vessels and nerves. The facial artery and the facial vein are crossing from the neck into the face and the facial nerve can be identified in close proximity to both vessels. In this video, the vascular danger zones are demonstrated and their 3-dimensional pathway as well as their origin is shown. Although no injection simulations are performed, this video is best suited for briefly freshen up on jawline anatomy prior to clinical treatments.
