Overview
Given the proximity between the frontal and the ophthalmic artery circulation, soft tissue filler injections of the forehead are considered high risk procedures. One way to increase the safety profile of such aesthetic treatments is the use of a cannula when addressing the deep supraperiosteal plane. See in this video how this cannula-based technique is performed and learn about the complexities of the frontal arterial vasculature.
