چکیده
The use of botulinum toxin and cutaneous filling techniques has encouraged a renewed interest in the study of facial anatomy.An assessment of the influence of facial structures in the aging process requires an in-depth understanding of the constitution of the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It is also essential to study the boundaries of facial segments and bones, the musculature, vascularization, sensory and motor innervation, and the lymphatic drainage of the face.A broad understanding of facial anatomy will help perfect cutaneous filling and botulinum toxin techniques.
