Dr. Steven Weiner is so passionate about using ultrasound for facial rejuvenation that he wrote a book to teach his peers. The facial plastic surgeon from Florida recently published Atlas of Ultrasound and Anatomy with Christopher Surek. The textbook features clinically relevant anatomy highlighting different facial layers and step-by-step guidance for when to use ultrasound.
We’re learning that anatomy is so highly variable and if we know the anatomy, we are a safer injector,” Dr. Weiner explains. “We also know there are complications related to anatomy, so if you know the anatomy before you inject, you’re going to get better results and safer outcomes.”
According to Dr. Weiner, ultrasound helps prevent complications when an injector examines vascular anatomy before a procedure.
There are certain times when you don’t actually want to inject these patients, particularly if they’ve had silicone. And silicone shows up very well on ultrasound.”
But Dr. Weiner warns new ultrasound users that they need to spend the time to learn to recognize ultrasound anatomy. He endorses Clarius T-Mode for new users to “shorten the learning curve.”
B mode is grayscale and everything kind of looks the same or blurry. And it takes a lot of visual recognition to decide what the anatomy is. And sometimes, people just give up. But those that dive into it; those are the ones that are able to master ultrasound.”
