Overview
Enhancing the lateral projection of the zygomatic arch and blending the lateral midface with the temples is a key step for every aesthetic treatment approach. The understanding of the fascial layered arrangement alongside the dangers of lateral facial vasculature needs to be understood and navigated carefully. Learn in this video about the complexities of the lateral facial anatomy and how a deep cannula-based approach can be used to achieve superior aesthetic outcomes.
