Overview
In this high-yield anatomic review, the muscles of the lower face and their associated nerves and arteries are demonstrated. Key muscles covered in this video include the platysma, masseter, risorius, depressor labii inferioris and the depressor anguli oris muscles. Understand the layered arrangement between these muscles and how this translates into toxin injection techniques. Although no injection simulations are performed, this video is best suited for briefly freshen up on lower facial anatomy prior to clinical treatments.
