Overview
The correction of the chin shape, especially when viewed from the side, is important to balance the lower face but also to create harmony within the perioral region. Due to the complex arterial vasculature of the chin zone, a cannula-based approach over a needle-based injection technique can be favored to increase the safety profile. However, a cannula technique requires a different 3-dimensional understanding of this delicate region. Learn in this video how to understand the chin zone arteries and how to best conduct a cannula-based technique using soft tissue fillers.
