What is the periosteum?
HA fillers are typically placed in one of these 3 planes (A, B, & D)
What is the papillary dermis, reticular dermis and supra periosteum?
These two muscles make up what is considered the glabella complex
What are the procerus and corrugator muscles?

What is the zygomatic bone?
The most lateral superior point of the obicularis oculi and the temporal fusion line is good landmark for this neurotoxin injection

What is softer?
A look of p'eau d'orange in the chin can be softened by injecting 2-6 units of neurotoxin into this muscle

An injector who is filling lips needs to be very mindful of this artery that arises from the facial artery and ascends into the nose; it lies between the mucous membrane and obicularis oris

What is the temporal fusion line?
As the face ages, these skeletal changes occur making the face look older.
The 3 photos below provide hints to these changes.
Describe at least one of these changes.
Bonus points for describing two of these changes.
Extra bonus points for naming all 3 changes depicted in these photos.

What is:
1. Elongation of the jaw and mandible and maxilla increasing the length of the face?
2. Enlargement of the eye sockets?
3. Widening and elongation of the nasal cavities
These two sets of muscles of the lower face can cause a look of Bell's palsy if injected incorrectly or unevenly, injection points can be targeted in one of these muscles to soften marionette lines
What is the depressor anguli oris and the depressor labii inferioris (DAO and DLI)
This artery arises from the carotid and is a major artery of the head, it can be palpated at a superficial point near the tragus of the ear just above the zygomatic arch; it should be palpated and avoided prior to injecting hollows of the same name

What is the superficial temporal artery?
This bone is on the lateral side of the head, filler in this area may cause pain while chewing, a common side effect when filling this "hollow"

What is the temporal bone?
The antigonial notch found in the mandible is an important landmark to palpate prior to many aesthetic treatments including filler and neck treatments. What important vessels are anterior to this anatomical landmark?
What nerve is found close to this area?
What is the facial artery and vein?
What is the marginal mandibular nerve?
These are the only FDA approved neurotoxins in the US as of July 2020
What is Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®

What is the LLSAN or levator labii superiorus alequai nasi?
One of the two arteries that could be punctured during neurotoxin placement in the corrugators that could cause bruising
Bonus points if you can name both
What is the supratrochlear artery and the supraorbital artery?
This bone is located in the back of the head and is a common site for injections for chronic migraines
What is the occipital bone?
This dangerous intersection of critical nerves and vessels should be palpated, marked and avoided while filling tear troughs

What is the infraorbital foramen?
Levido reticularis is the medical term; in lay terms, the skin can be described this way when there is an occlusion
