Abstract
The popularity of minimally invasive injectable aesthetic treatments has grown exponentially with over thirteen million neurotoxin and dermal filler injections being performed in 2014. While aesthetic results can be dramatic and convalescence minimal, significant complications including vascular compromise, neuropraxia, and blindness have been reported. Thorough knowledge of the complex anatomy in this area and the use of anatomic landmarks can help the physician obtain improved aesthetic results by deploying fillers in the appropriate anatomic plane and avoiding inadvertent injury to important neurovascular structures in this area.
