Overview
The periorbital region is directly connected to the temple and the forehead via direct fascial layers and via the arterial vascular network. In addition, it must provide a high degree of flexibility for the movement of the eyelids. All these factors together, predispose the periorbital region to be a challenging facial region to address with soft tissue fillers. Although no injection simulations are performed, this video is best suited for briefly freshen up on periorbital anatomy prior to clinical treatments.
