The glabella muscle is the pyramidal muscle located behind the medial superciliary (above the eyebrow) of the forehead area; The main muscle that works bilaterally and pulls the eyebrows medially and downwards, forming the pionels and glabellar "11 lines"; The primary goal of Botox treatment.
A triangular muscle in the lower-lateral facial region that pulls the corner of the mouth (oral commissure) down and creates a "sad" or "marionette line" facial expression; The main target of "DAO botox" and Nefertiti lifting protocol in botox applications.
The frontal belly of the occipitofrontalis muscle, which pulls the forehead skin and eyebrows upward; Bilateral facial muscle, which is the primary cause of forehead lines and the main target of forehead botox.
The inter-eyebrow forehead area (glabella — from the nasion to the supraorbital rim), the topographic zone containing the procerus and corrugator supercilii muscles; is the main center of expression aging with dynamic and static "lines of 11" (glabellar rhytides); It is the primary target of Botox injection, but carries a risk of vascular blindness through the supratrochlear-ophthalmic anastomosis.
Topographic zone located around the mid-lateral region of the face, zygomatic arch and malar eminence; anatomy, where atrophy of the deep medial cheek fat compartment plays a primary role in middle-aged facial aging, and is the target area of liquid facelift and volumetric injection.
Anatomical lines extending from the corner of the mouth (oral commissure) to the lower edge of the mandible, resulting from the activity of the depressor anguli oris muscle and volume loss, creating a "marionette" or "sad face" appearance; Treatment requires a combination of DAO botox + dermal filler.
The primary mastication muscle, which pulls the mandible upwards, is the bilateral muscular structure that determines the width and contour of the lower face; Anatomy at the center of hypertrophy, bruxism and Botox applications.
Nasolabial fold (NLF) is the oblique pleat that extends from the base of the nose to the corner of the mouth and separates the medial cheek from the upper lip; Anatomical area that deepens after medial cheek fat descent during aging. It is the non-glabellar injection site with the highest risk in terms of vascular occlusion because the facial artery courses in the medial alar region and the ophthalmic anastomosis of the angular artery.
Esphincter muscle surrounding the eye; bilateral structure that closes the eyelids, creates eye wrinkles and assists lacrimal drainage; The primary target of Botox applications and the anatomical basis of crow's feet.
The small pyramidal muscular structure located on the root of the nose is the facial expression muscle that pulls the eyebrows medially and creates horizontal "rabbit lines" in the glabella region; Glabellar complex is the primary target of Botox applications.
Tear trough (infraorbital cavity) is the natural depression area formed at the orbital-cheek border; It is the anatomical region with the highest risk for hyaluronic acid filler injection due to 0.5 mm skin thickness, SOOF (suborbicularis oculi fat) atrophy and proximity to the infraorbital artery.
