Cadaver Dissection Training:
Anatomy of the Upper Third
of the Face
Gain practical experience with human cadaver specimens — in a flexible, accessible online format
From essential anatomy to advanced facelift techniques — including tissue fixation and risk management
Who This Course Is For
Especially for beginners who are afraid to work in the brow and temple areas due to the risk of:

  • damaging the supraorbital artery and causing a hematoma
  • injuring the frontal branch of the facial nerve — resulting in eyebrow immobility
  • improper placement of threads or fillers — leading to forehead ptosis or an unnatural, heavy appearance

You will actually see on cadavers where these structures are located. This builds confidence, even with minimal intervention, because you understand what lies beneath the skin.
For plastic surgeons
In procedures such as osteotomies, implantation, or frontoplasty — especially when approaching through temporal or coronal incisions — even a small anatomical error can lead to:

  • skin necrosis due to vascular injury
  • brow or eyelid ptosis caused by damage to the frontal branch of the facial nerve
  • excessive blood loss from the supraorbital or superficial temporal artery

The opportunity to see everything on high-quality cadaveric material with realistic tissue thickness, fascia color, and precise nerve and vessel positioning — and to adjust your surgical approach routes accordingly.
For maxillofacial surgeons
Facial anatomy differs from one patient to another, and without a clear understanding of how facial muscles and ligaments interact, you risk:

  • overcorrecting the forehead, leading to sagging
  • misplacing threads, resulting in unnatural folds or creases
  • injecting filler into the wrong plane, disrupting facial expressions

Understand the depth, location, and function of key facial muscles — frontalis, orbicularis oculi, corrugator — and learn how they interact to maintain natural facial harmony.
For cosmetologists
For those who are just beginning to explore injectable and facial surgical procedures

Medical schools often focus on theoretical anatomy — muscles, nerves, vessels — but rarely show how these structures appear in real tissue, at varying depths, or in clinical context

Anatomy diagrams in textbooks are one thing — actual anatomy in a living person is completely different
For residents and interns
Program Goals and Key Takeaways
  • How to operate confidently by relying on tactile feedback during procedures

  • How to understand anatomy not from textbooks, but in real surgical dynamics

  • How to plan and visualize your surgical approach in advance
  • How to avoid common mistakes seen even among skilled surgeons

  • Which muscles require partial release and which ones should be fully resected

  • Why it’s critical to understand every millimeter — from nerves to fascia

  • Key principles of tissue fixation for stable, long-lasting results

Core Techniques and Methods

We will study the anatomical layers of the face in detail.
We’ll focus on the localization and pathway of the facial nerve, with particular attention to its frontal branch.
We’ll also explore the topography of facial muscles, ligaments, and fascial layers involved in facial expression
The Results You’ll Achieve
  • Confidence
    You’ll navigate facial and cranial anatomy with assurance — avoiding the common mistakes that lead to complications.
  • Knowledge
    Gain the knowledge to perform complex facial surgeries with minimal risk, and develop a precise understanding of each anatomical layer — muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
  • Technique
    Master surgical techniques that ensure natural, stable, and long-lasting outcomes.
Master even the most challenging facial procedures with confidence
Operate with precision and anatomical accuracy
