Considering the Line of Ligaments with Aesthetic Treatments

Facial aging involves various tissues like bone, muscle, and skin. Recent aesthetic treatments focus on the line of ligaments to achieve natural results. Ligaments connect bones and guide facial structure. The line of ligaments includes temporal, orbital, zygomatic, and mandibular ligaments, separating face compartments.
