Full Description
This guide for facial injectors covers all aspects of volumization with a strong anatomical focus. The book comprehensively covers vascular, nerve and soft tissue anatomy, including the fat compartments. The presence of danger zones is highlighted throughout, together with technical pearls for injecting safely, avoiding problems and obtaining the best results. Working from temple to mandible, the book presents extensive cadaver dissections and interpretative artwork, together with succinct, high-yield text. Also included are extensive technical videos, videos of cadaver dissections and animations showing glide planes. The book is published with a complimentary e-book version.
