This is an intense whistle stop tour into facial anatomy for medical aesthetics. Our speciality is ever evolving and constantly morphing but one thing is for sure - the anatomy does not lie. It is always the constant and hence must be respected, appreciated and made accessible for medical aesthetic injectors. We are often taught "anatomy” as a second thought in medical aesthetics but it’s often superficial at best and at worst is oversimplified or even sometimes; just wrong. We are going to rewire your knowledge starting from basic principles but going up to high level knowledge to keep you on the cutting edge.
Key Learning Objectives
+ The five layers of the face
+ The differing layers across the face (temples, forehead, Midface, lower face)
+ Principles of facial ligaments & facial compartments
+ Anatomy of the deep and superficial fat compartments
+ Basic osteology of the facial skeleton
+ Major foramen of the facial skeleton and their contents
+ Nervous anatomy including sensory, motor and autonomic supplies
+ The arterial supply & venous drainage
+ Clinically revenant anatomy to Medical Aesthetic Complications
Why should you attend this training
For new, intermediate injectors to gain exposure to high level anatomical concepts and help you to make more informed clinical decisions for your patients in medical aesthetics.
