Anatomical Considerations to Improve Aesthetic Treatments Using Neuromodulators

The orbicularis oculi muscle is located strictly subdermal with contact to the bone and ligaments at the cranial aspect of the tear trough, the tear trough ligament, and the medial canthal ligament. The procerus and corrugator supercilii muscles each have distinct bony origins (Figure 11.2). The origin of the procerus muscle is located at the nasal bone at the root of the nose in the midline and the paramedian plane, and it inserts into the skin of the glabella at the level of the upper margin of the hairy eyebrow. The origin of the corrugator supercilii muscle is the supraciliary arch of the frontal bone in the paramedian plane. It inserts the skin in the middle third of the eyebrow. The frontalis muscle has no bony connection but is enveloped by two fasciae extending from the galea aponeurotica. While it extends over the forehead, its muscle fibers invest into the orbicularis oculi (in the lateral, middle, and medial third of the eyebrow), corrugator supercilii (in the middle third of the eyebrow), and procerus muscle (in the midline) at a horizontal level, corresponding to the upper margin of the hairy eyebrow (Figure 11.1).
Facial anatomy

The procerus muscle is a pyramid-shaped muscle which arises from fascia over the lower portion of the nasal bone and the lateral nasal cartilage. It inserts into the skin between the eyebrows with superior fibres, attaching to the inferior border of the frontalis muscle. As you may be able to infer from its location, the procerus muscle is involved with pulling the eyebrows down and together, thus allowing a person to scowl. As an aside, the procerus also has a secondary function in flaring the nostrils. See Figure 3.14.

The muscle function of the upper third of the face enables a person to emanate the emotions of surprise, pain, fear, anger, concern, or worry, among others. The eyebrow has several paired depressor muscles consisting of the corrugators, depressor supercilii, and the orbicularis oculi muscles. The frontal branch of the facial nerve innervates all these muscles. The procerus muscle, also an eyebrow depressor, lies in the midline between the frontalis muscles. The zygomatic branch of the facial nerve innervates the procerus (Figure 4.1).
Second intention healing of nasal ala and dorsum defects in Asians

Maintaining the aesthetic subunits of the nose is an important factor to consider when repairing defects involving the nasal ala and dorsum. The nasal ala is a paired structural subunit of the nose that consists of three anatomically distinct layers: the external skin, the internal nasal lining, and the fibrofatty middle portion. Each layer is important in the reconstruction to integrate seamlessly with the nose, prevent scar contracture, and maintain nasal patency (10). The surface of each ala is separated from the nasal sidewalls by the alar groove. The ala is covered with thick, sebaceous skin that differs in color, texture, and mobility from the dorsum. The dorsum of the nose extends from the supratip depression to the glabella superiorly, where a transverse wrinkle perpendicular to the procerus muscle may mark its upper limit (11).
Lifting effect of onabotulinumtoxinA in patients treated for glabellar and crow’s feet rhytids
Published in Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2020
Nonetheless, the present analysis expands on previous findings in at least three important ways. First, a total of 100 patients were included, which is more than any of the earlier studies (some of which analyzed only a handful of individuals). Second, earlier studies were based primarily on assessment of eyebrow height and none measured visible STP height; thus, this appears to be the first demonstration of increased eyelid show with BoNTA. Third, the present study is the first specifically to assess the impact of combination treatment of the glabella and crow’s feet, both of which are licensed indications for onabotulinumtoxinA (19). There is a clear mechanistic rationale for expecting an additive lifting effect. The corrugator and procerus muscles in the glabella act as medial brow depressors, and orbicularis oculi performs a similar role laterally (9,13,15,20), and weakening these depressors with BoNTA thus facilitates the brow-elevating effects of the frontalis muscle.
The spectrum of orbital dermoid cysts and their surgical management
Published in Orbit, 2020

Cysts in the nasoglabellar region may arise from a number of bony fusion lines including the frontonasal, frontomaxillary, frontolacrimal, nasomaxillary, and lacrimomaxillary sutures. Their ultimate cystic expansion may vary from the midline of the nasal bridge to medial orbital rim, above or below the medial commissure. In this region, the relaxed skin tension lines are predominantly horizontal, and incisions are placed in them and/or the medial upper eyelid crease, depending on cyst location. Dissection continues through the subcutaneous tissue to the underlying muscles, which may include the orbicularis, procerus, and/or corrugator. To avoid damage to vertically and obliquely oriented muscles, fibers are separated parallel to their natural course, and dissection is continued to the surface of the cyst capsule. Any adhesion to the lacrimal sac is carefully separated. The closure is accomplished with buried 7–0 Vicryl suture at the level of muscle fibers and running 6–0 plain catgut or subcuticular 6–0 PDS suture at the skin level (Figure 6).
