Abstract
The evolving shift towards less invasive procedures for aesthetic facial rejuvenation naturally demands a more sophisticated understanding of facial anatomy. The outcome of any surgical or nonsurgical procedure can be optimized with a detailed understanding of the anatomical framework. An artistic and logical appreciation of the anatomical facial structures and their morphological variations is important in choosing and performing any procedure. This chapter highlights the practical anatomy of the upper and midface relevant to oculofacial cosmetic surgery.
