Overview
A deep understanding of the lateral facial anatomy is the most important factor when trying to augment the zygomatic region and creating an increased facial aesthetic appearance with soft tissue fillers. With a correct product choice and with the superficial cannula injection technique a smoothening of the lateral facial outline, a reduction in lateral canthal lines, and even an improvement of the jawline and of the Marionette lines can be achieved. Learn in this video how to perform the superficial cannula injection technique blending anatomic knowledge with injection skills.
