Corrugator muscle injections require accuracy to avoid affecting surrounding muscles like the frontalis or fororbicularis oculi and causing complications like ptosis. Dr. Moret uses ultrasound to locate the muscle and guide her injection.
Hello, Dr. Gina here and in today's video I want to show you a ultrasound guided bulin toxin injection but of the corrugator muscle. And why is that?
0:1212 secondsBecause the corrugator muscle is not only a small muscle but it has a very special position. It is in between like a sandwich two very important mimic
0:2222 secondsmuscles. The one on top is the frontalus muscle and the one down is the pop levator pop superior muscle. And in the
0:3131 secondscase that you end up having a diffusion to any of those, you're going to have complications like upper eyelid pytosis
0:4040 secondsor even the downwards movement, the fall of the eyebrow, specifically the head of the eyebrow. So let's do a one by one
0:4949 secondsstep of how to do this injection with using your high frequency ultrasound.
0:5454 secondsFirst you have to identify the muscle and in order to do that I'm using inside the aesthetics the parameter for
1:011 minute, 1 secondforehead and temple. You can choose to use AI as well or not. So first I find
1:091 minute, 9 secondsthe muscle with uh the movement of frowning. So I
1:161 minute, 16 secondsask the patient to frown for me. Can you frown for me?
1:221 minute, 22 secondsCan you frown for me again? Mhm.
1:301 minute, 30 secondsRelax again.
1:341 minute, 34 secondsOkay. And there you go. I found the muscle.
1:411 minute, 41 secondsNow using the needle enhancer parameter right here.
1:501 minute, 50 secondsIt will help me see the middle and you can inject right into
1:581 minute, 58 secondsthe corugador muscle and right there see the expansion of the muscle when you put the low dosage
2:072 minutes, 7 secondsof bolinum toxin and that's one side h I will do now the other side as well this
2:152 minutes, 15 secondsway you can prevent the complications that we normally with the injection of bottlene toxin on
2:232 minutes, 23 secondsthe corrugator muscle. So this is it for today. Thank you for watching. Hope to see you soon. Bye-bye.
