Overview
The lid-cheek junction is an important facial feature which defines the transition between the lower eyelid and the upper midface. This transitional zone is a highly complex anatomic region with a plethora of ligaments, fascias, and muscles converging in a thin anatomic line. Learn about this difficult anatomic region and see demonstrated how local volume loss can be corrected by using a perpendicular needle approach.
