Abstract Background Injecting soft tissue fillers into the deep plane of the forehead carries the risk of injection related visual compromise due to the specific course of the arterial vasculature. Objectives To investigate the 2- and 3-dimensional location of the change of plane of the deep branch of the supratrochlear and supraorbital artery, respectively. Methods A total of 50 patients (11 males and 39 females, mean age: 49.76 (13.8) years, mean body mass index of 22.53 (2.6) kg/m 2) were investigated with ultrasound imaging. The total thickness, and the distance of the arteries from the skin and bone surface were measured using a 15-7 MHz broadband compact linear array transducer. Results The deep branch of the supraorbital artery changed plane from deep to superficial to the frontalis muscle at a mean distance of 13 mm [range: 7.0 – 19.0] in males and at 14 mm [range: 4.0 – 24.0] in females and for the deep branch of the supratrochlear artery at a mean distance of 14 mm in males and females [range: 10.0 – 19.0 in males, 4.0 – 27.0 in females} when measured from the superior orbital rim. Conclusions Based on the ultrasound findings in this study, it seems that the supraperiosteal plane of the upper and lower forehead could be targeted during soft tissue filler injections as the deep branches of both the supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries do not travel within this plane. The superficial plane of the lower forehead, however, should be avoided due to the unpredictability and inconsistent presence of the central and paracentral arteries.

Abstract Background Glabellar soft tissue filler injections have been shown to be associated with a high risk of causing injection-related visual compromise. Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the course of the superficial branch of the supratrochlear and of the deep branch of the supraorbital artery in relation to the ipsilateral vertical glabellar line and to test whether an artery is located deep to this line. Methods Forty-one healthy volunteers with a mean age of 26.17 [9.6] years and a mean BMI of 23.09 [2.3] kg/m2 were analyzed. Ultrasound imaging was applied to measure the diameters, distance from skin surface, distance between the midline, distance between vertical glabella lines, and the cutaneous projection of the supratrochlear/supraorbital arteries at rest and upon frowning. Results The mean distance between the superficial branch of the supratrochlear artery and the ipsilateral vertical glabellar line was 10.59 [4.0] mm in males and 8.21 [4.0] mm in females, whereas it was 22.38 [5.5] mm for the supraorbital artery in males and 20.73 [5.6] mm in females. Upon frowning, a medial shift in supratrochlear arterial position of 1.63 mm in males and 1.84 mm in females and of 3.9 mm in supraorbital arterial position for both genders was observed. The mean depth of the supratrochlear artery was 3.34 [0.6] mm at rest, whereas the depth of the supraorbital artery was 3.54 [0.8] mm. Conclusions The hypothesis that injecting soft tissue fillers next to the vertical glabellar line is safe because the supratrochlear artery courses deep to the crease should be rejected. Additionally, the glabella and the supraorbital region should be considered as an area of mobile, rather than static, soft tissues.
