title: Anatomy of the Periorbital Area.
abstract: Dermal filler and neurotoxin treatments around the periorbital area are assessed when addressing the early signs of aging. Having a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy related to the structures of the eye may reduce the risk of complications, which include severe bruising, persistent swelling, blindness, and cerebral infarction. Understanding the function of the muscles and ligaments, location of the nerves, and the pathway of the blood vessels are crucial when addressing concerns in this area.
