Overview
The maxillary artery is the largest branch of the external carotid artery and travels in the deep aspects of the lateral face. This artery is well hidden and protected as it provides crucial arterial blood supply to the temple, the midface, the inside of the nasal, oral, and pharyngeal cavities. Learn and see in this extended anatomic review video about the complexities of the maxillary artery and everything an injector needs and should know when performing minimally invasive aesthetic procedures to avoid serious adverse events.
