Facial Ultrasound Anatomy for Non-invasive Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Procedures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Ultrasound unveils in vivo the anatomical characteristics and location of relevant structures of the face. This non-invasive imaging modality can support the performance of non-invasive cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures and the early detection of complications. This chapter reviews the sonographic features of the main anatomical structures of the face performing a clinical-ultrasonographic correlation.
