Overview
The ligamentous anatomy of the lateral infraorbital region is guided by the orbicularis retaining and by the zygomatico-cutaneous ligaments. These ligaments provide stability but can also be a valuable anatomic landmark when performing soft tissue filler-based corrections of the palpebromalar grooves with an lateral injection approach. Learn in this video about the intricacies of the periorbital ligaments and how they can be used to guide the correction of the lateral aspect of the lid-cheek junction.
