when performing some delicate procedures, such as
botox,
facial surgeries,
fillers, radio frequencies, microcurrent, ultrasound, and high frequencies, it is crucial that you have a thorough understanding of the
facial and neck anatomy.here are some interesting things to note about the
anatomy of the face and neck humans are born with 300 bones, but some of them fuse together so you only have 206 when you reach adulthood. two-thirds of bone matter constitutes minerals, while the rest is organic material, all of which account for 14 to 20 per cent of your body weight. there are 14
facial bones and eight cranial bones, with the former creating the structural foundation for your face, from where
facial muscles originate to move the jaw and control
facial expressions.
facial muscles are subcutaneous (right beneath the skin) and striated, and are also known as mimetic muscles. they originate on bone and insert on the skin, where they voluntarily control
facial expressions. the face has 16 muscles, all of which serve different functions.
