Overview
The vascular anatomy of the lips and of the perioral region needs to be understood when targeting the lips or the perioral region with soft tissue fillers. Especially the complex 3-dimensional pathway of the superior and of the inferior labial artery are important to see and to translate into clinical practice. This video provides a deep understanding of the perioral vasculature and shows the perioral arteries like never demonstrated before. Although no injection simulations are performed, this video is best suited for briefly freshen up on perioral anatomy prior to clinical treatments.
