Health care providers performing surgical and minimally invasive facial esthetic procedures require a clear, three- and four-dimensional understanding of the underlying facial anatomy. Recent research has revealed numerous new insights into this topic that lay the foundations for administering the best possible clinical care.
This Atlas compiles the latest scientific findings on facial layer-by-layer anatomy and translates complex concepts into a unique visual experience based on the “Cotofana Dissection Method.” The result is a visual guide for esthetic facial treatments that provides both a reliable source of knowledge and an evidence-based foundation for clinical practice.
