How new anatomical concepts can help improve your injecting with Professor Sebastian Cotofana

With Professor Sebastian Cotofana, Associate Professor of Anatomy, Mayo Clinic, USAHosts Dr Jake Sloane and David Segal

About this episode

Professor Sebastian Cotofana is one of the world's best-known anatomists in facial aesthetics, a prolific researcher who has published well over 100 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.

We discuss his background and training, a typical day, how his research is coordinated and the hierarchy of authorship on academic papers.

We then do something different and drill into four of his best-known recent papers, covering what each was about, the methods and main outcomes, and the learning points for injectors. Topics include injection depth for toxin (to click or not to click), deep versus superficial toxin, the forehead line of convergence, rebalancing facial muscles, facial biomechanics and midface repositioning.

What you'll learn

  • How injection depth affects toxin results
  • What the forehead line of convergence is
  • Using toxin to rebalance facial muscles
  • How facial biomechanics influence the midface
  • How to read authorship on a research paper
