can be interrupted in an unnatural and displeasing way due to the insertion point in the DAO.
Zygomatic minor—The zygomatic minor is yet another superficial elevator muscle. The zygomatic minor muscle elevates the upper lip out­ward and upward, allowing to show the maxillary teeth. This muscle sits beneath the orbicularis oculi on the medial portion of the zygomatic bone just in front of the zygomatic major muscle and connects to the subcutane­ous tissue of the upper lateral lip muscle. The zygomatic muscle is essential in the function of smiling. This muscle can be inadvertently injected when the lateral canthal lines are treated in the ill-prepared injector’s hands.
Levator anguli oris—The levator anguli oris raises the mouth’s angle in smiling and contributes to the depth and contour of the nasolabial fold. This muscle lies deep and lateral to the levator labii superiors. It originates in the canine fossa of the maxilla and connects the modiolus of the lips. The levator anguli oris is not typically a muscle that would be injected with neuromo­dulation. However, due to the proximity of other muscles treated, it is a muscle to be mindful of while injecting.
Risorius—The risorius pulls the corner of the mouth laterally in numer­ous facial activities, including grinning and laughing. The risorius muscle originates in the fascia over the parotid gland. This muscle is closely related to the master muscle as it course along to the corner of the mouth just above the master muscle.
Lower lip (elevators, retractors, and evertors)
Depressor labii inferioris (DLI)—The depressor labii inferioris draw the lower lip downwards and a little laterally in the action of chewing or otherwise known as a masticatory activity. It is further thought that the DLI may assist in the eversion of the lower lip as well. The DLI is a muscle that injectors want to avoid entirely. The DLI is responsible for the expres­sions of irony, sorrow, melancholy, and doubt, to name a few. When treat­ing the DAO incorrectly, it can lead to the neuromodulator being introduced to the DLI. Because it is a depressor muscle when it is injected with neuromodulation, the lateral portion of the lower lip from the corner to midline will be forced upward, and then action of the pink of the lip will curl inwards. The result can look like a palsy event. Only time will heal this mistake.
Depressor anguli oris (DAO)—The depressor anguli oris muscle draws the angle of the mouth downwards and laterally in opening the mouth

and in expressing sadness or questioning. With age, the DAO is responsible for the volume loss and the development of creases in the marionette region. This muscle always pulls downward and creates a shearing effect deepening the crease in this area and disrupting the fat position. Treating this area with neuromodulation will help to prevent the progression of a rapid breakdown in this area.
Mentalis—The mentalis muscle raises the lower lip and is responsible for the skin’s wrinkling on the chin. It raises the lower lip base and, there­fore, helps in protruding and everting the lower lip in drinking and expres­sing doubt or disdain. In patients with a jaw that is thrusting forward as in an overbite, this muscle often stays active and will result in a cobble stoning effect on the chin.
Compound sphincter muscle group
Orbicularis oris—The orbicularis muscle consists of four quadrants the upper, lower, left, and right. This muscle is responsible for oral competence. The orbicularis muscle can create the kissing face or a puckering of the lips and pull the lips toward the teeth to complement the expression of confusion or disbelief. The orbicularis oris is a sphincter muscle, which is also con­firmed to be a part of the depressor group of muscles. It aids in speech as well as oral competence. If treatment with neuromodulation is done incor­rectly here, it can create difficulty with speech, drinking through a straw, and whistling. The injections should be superficial and always in the muscle’s belly but not too deep to affect the deeper portion of the muscle, which can affect a patients’ oral competence.
Three other muscles are a part of this group but do not play a significant role in the art of neuromodulation; therefore, we will make a note of them but will not spend much time on them. They are the incisivus labii super­ioris, incisivus labii inferioris, and the buccinator.

Skeletal structure
The skeletal structure is the support, or shall we say the framework for all facial layers to rest. The craniofacial skeletal structure undergoes much stress throughout the years, which produces many changes over time. Bone loss and position changes are relative to the dynamics of expansion and loss, along with musculoskeletal changes. As muscles atrophy over time, the cra­niofacial structures reposition as the muscle and ligaments act like anchors or support systems for the skeleton. In aging, the mandible begins to drop for­ward, so the mentalis becomes hyperdynamic in an effort to hold it back in position. Patients’ facial height, width, and depth all change with time. The chin can widen, the gonial notch demineralizes and is pushed forward, the maxilla changes aiding in the formation and accentuation of the nasolabial folds. The orbits increase in size by widening and increasing the opening, which leads to the dreaded dark tear trough. As the maxilla decreases in size, this leads to a shift in the malar fat pad, accentuating the nasolabial fold. There is also a loss of support of the upper lip, creating a lengthening of

the upper lip with the maxilla bone reabsorption. As teeth start to decay, this will also change the structure of the craniofacial structures, further creating volume loss and shifts in facial features’ contours.

The esthetics of aging
The aging face
Now that the mechanism of action of BoNT-A, the nervous system, the soft tissues, and the muscles of the face have been reviewed, let us begin to put the pieces together by looking into how the face ages so that proficiency can be developed in the art of assessment to develop unique yet effective treat­ment plans with the use of neuromodulation.
The onset and pace of aging are multifactorial and unique to different individuals, and factors such as lifestyle, gender, and ethnicity play an essen­tial role in the development of prescriptive treatment plans. Given the dynamic relationship to each structure involved in the aging process (bone, ligaments, fat, muscles, fasciae, and skin), it can be challenging to pinpoint the culprit for most aging processes. It is essential to understand the under­lying structures and how they age before offering esthetic advice to the patient. Often the patient will have a budget that does not meet the reality of a singular rejuvenating treatment. It is crucial to begin down the esthetic journey with the patient by building trust. This way, a partnership can be developed of equal trust resulting in a long term relationship. The patients can learn from their provider, fostering confidence in their decisions based on the treatment plan carved out for them. If the provider comes on too strong, they will feel as if they are being sold. Also, pointing out too many areas of concern can make the client feel hopeless. When a trusting relation­ship is created, providers can begin to educate them on their aging process slowly. Patients will feel more comfortable with their decisions and less focused on the dollar amount. All providers should produce a prescription of treatments to the patients based on their needs, not based on their inter­pretation of the patient’s budget. Providers prescribe and then let the patients decide if they want or can afford the plan for rejuvenation.
The effects of aging on the face are complex and multi-dimensional
(Fig. 9.1). Injectors must analyze this carefully and systematically ask the
questions; is the skin thick or thin, rough or smooth, dry or oily, how much fat has shifted, and how do the muscles aid in the aging process? The facial assessment will be unique to every patient. There is no way to provide a

cookie-cutter treatment plan based on the millions of unique presentations of facial features that will present in the clinic for treatment. Address and assess every patient individually. The way a novice injector injects will not be the way they inject in 5 years from now. This concept is based on the idea that as the novice injector injects more and more and analyzes more and more faces, a more in-depth knowledge of the anatomic relationships and the complex emotional view of the patient will develop. Having every patient come back for a 2-week follow-up is best for many reasons. One reason is so that proper after photos can be taken to showcase the work performed. Another reason for the follow-up visit is to develop a real under­standing of the treatment’s effect. Having the ability to review the treat­ments’ effect will allow for further growth in the industry and shorten the

learning curve time frame. Before and after photos help in growing new businesses. When a patient comes back at the 2 weeks follow up, it is an opportunity to capture photos and see the results of the actions taken during treatment in real-time.
Your assessment will evolve over time, and so will your skill and technique.
How does the face age?
(1) The dermis thins and tiny vessels become more visible with time. (2) Bony structures can become more prominent as fat shifts or are lost. (3) The cheeks and the mouth area hollow. (4) The philtral columns will sink and or deflate. They, at times, will widen
as well.
(5) The upper lip lengthens. (6) Corners of the mouth become sad appearing and create deficits in the
marionette region.
(7) The nasal tip drops. (8) The lower 1/3 of the face drops and jowls form, enhancing a hollowing
of the pre-jowl sulcus.
(9) The lower mandibular region narrows and pushes forward.
Aging occurs in two ways; intrinsically and extrinsically
Intrinsic aging is due to our genetic makeup and ethnicity. Extrinsic aging is due to sun damage, smoking, pollutants, and ultimately poor lifestyle choices, all of which add to exposure.
Patients can help to curb the aging process by paying attention to extrin­sic factors. Providers can manipulate the internal environment to help patients reverse the hands of time with neuromodulators, fillers, lasers, chemical peels, and various other non-surgical options. The exposome influences skin changes. This refers to the internal and external factors and the interactions with an individual from birth to death. Keeping in mind that severe outside influences that rapidly progress the aging process are the use of tobacco, pollutions, lack of sleep, stress, nutrition, temperature, radi­ation (sun and computers).
Aging is a vicious process of wear and tear over time while being exac­erbated by the exposure to daily oxidants. Muscles create friction and shear­ing, which causes a breakdown and a loss of volume in the face. The force of muscle activity also creates epidermal injuries such as static rhytids. Our bones begin to shift and demineralize, which creates even more shifting

of tissues. It is important to understand anatomy and then how that anatomy ages over time.
Common aging features are drooping skin, flattened cheeks, fullness is lost in the upper face, and resides in the lower face at the mouth and jawline. A deepening of the nasolabial fold, enhanced jowls, harsh static rhytids are also a part of the more commonplace aging features. The face can take on a sad, tense, and tired appearance. We lose volume, and muscles weaken, con­nective tissue loosens and allows for more significant sag. Aging is part genet­ics and part lifestyle; prevention is more manageable than repair and restoration.
Youthfulness is expressed through shape, structure, and contour
Skin in the younger years is soft, plump, hydrated, and looks full. The cells of the skin turn over rapidly, improving the overall tone and texture of the skin
(Figs. 9.2 and 9.3). However, once we age, we experience a loss in facial
glands, which in turn, we have a decrease in oil production, immediately dehydrating the skin. We then lose collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. The loss of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin depletes the skin’s building blocks, minimizing the health and youthfulness of our skin.
The loss of the three building blocks will lead to the dynamic lines of expression that become sad and angry emotions. Static lines will be created due to the muscles’ abuse and forceful, repetitive action on the skin. With time our expressions leave a story on our face of how our anatomy works. Elastin is essential for our skin’s ability to recoil, and once we lose elastin, our recoil ability is sharply stunted.
Facial esthetic treatments have evolved and now include correcting age-related volume loss in the midface. Rejuvenation has shifted from the two-dimensional approach to a three-dimensional approach. The typical youthful face follows the shape of an ogee curve. The ogee curve is the cen­tral facial triangle or the double soft-S curves seen on the youthful face from an oblique angle. However, with age, the mid-face flattens, and the skin begins to sag. The deflation of the cheek makes the nasolabial fold much more prominent. Then a concavity begins to form under the eye in the tear trough. As gravity pulls these structures down the pre-jowl sulcus area is hollowed, and the pre-jowl region becomes full and prominent.
Aging is happening on a variety of levels. The skin surface becomes dis­colored; the skin can become thicker or thinner. The texture changes, pores become larger and more pronounced, and old scar tissue changes how the

skin lies or puckers. Permanent lines and wrinkles are set into hyper­dynamic areas. Gravity grips and begins the pull downward, causing fat pads to deplete and drop into the nasolabial area and the jowls.
In more recent esthetic literature regarding aging has focused on the ana­tomical facial fat compartment. This has revolutionized the concept and approach of adding volume to specific deflated soft-tissue compartments with dermal filler. However, it has added depth to the muscle’s effect on the facial fat compartments. Dermal fillers with the understanding of the facial fat pads have allowed injectors to create a more individualized youthful restoration to the face. The overall improvement in understanding facial fat pads has compartmentalized the treatment strategies and prescriptive plans for facial rejuvenation. Rejuvenation and restoration treatment plans should
