Atlas of Ultrasound and Anatomy: Facial Rejuvenation

An anatomically-informed guide on the use of ultrasound to elevate facial rejuvenation outcomes

Facial injection requires in-depth understanding of clinically relevant underlying anatomy. Until the recent introduction of ultrasound into the medical aesthetics space, soft tissue filler and neurotoxin injection relied upon the injector's experience and ability to navigate the face without direct vision of deeper structures. Atlas of Ultrasound and Anatomy: Facial Rejuvenation by internationally renowned facial rejuvenation experts Steven F. Weiner and Christopher C. Surek provides a high-yield anatomical guide on how to leverage ultrasound to optimize facial injection results.

This unique textbook is the culmination of hundreds of cadaver dissections, extensive literature reviews, and countless ultrasound images. Throughout four chapters, the authors share a wealth of knowledge garnered from decades of surgical and injection experience. The first chapter discusses how anatomical concepts can be applied to the various aesthetic subunits of the face to navigate desired targets and avoid potential danger zones. Chapters two through four present an immersive journey through layered anatomy of the upper, middle, and lower face, respectively, and the use of ultrasound to finesse techniques.

Key Features:

Clinically relevant anatomy highlighting different facial layers and the symphony of structures that exist within them

Step-by-step guidance for utilizing ultrasound to prevent facial injection complications and improve patient outcomes

Beautiful medical illustrations and ultrasound images provide high-yield insights

This is an essential reference for facial injectors to sharpen their skills and perform precision facial rejuvenation procedures informed by ultrasound imagery.
