Understanding Facial Anatomy in Modern Aesthetic Treatments
One of the defining elements of modern medical aesthetics is its deep reliance on facial anatomy. Successful outcomes depend on a practitioner’s ability to assess bone structure, fat compartments, muscle activity, and skin quality. This knowledge ensures that treatments enhance natural beauty while maintaining balance and safety.
The face ages in layers. Bone resorption reduces structural support, deep fat pads shift or diminish, and skin loses elasticity due to decreased collagen. Understanding these changes helps practitioners choose the right interventions for each patient. For example, volume loss in the mid-face can be restored with fillers placed strategically along the cheekbones, creating lift rather than simple plumping.
