Dental surgeons have specific training in the anatomy
of the head and neck, particularly facial anatomy, including
the facial muscles and underlying bone structure. This
is very important for facial rejuvenation proceedures
using botox injections to create a smoothing effect
of the skin.
Dental surgeons also have specific training in administering
anaesthetic injections in the areas surrounding the
mouth. This is particularly important for cosmetic work
involving the lips, such as lip border enhancement and
augmentation of the body of the lip.
During their training dentists are taught to appreciate
the principals of facial proportion and aesthetics in
order to achieve cosmetic results that are not only
natural for each individual patient but above all pleasing
to the eye.
They are manually very dextrous by the very nature of
their work and used to working on very delicate and
sensitive structures.This is very good for work with
injectable fillers to smooth wrinkles, enhancement of
cheek bone contour, chin enlargement and scar reduction.
Certain areas of non surgical facial rejuvenation require
accuracy and precision to produce natural results such
as botox injections in the forehead where the location
of the injection site with reference to the anatomy
of the face is all important.
This is also the case when treating downturned corners
of the mouth with botox injections to produce a lifting
effect .
Finally, but by no means least, they are a medically
qualified professional able to provide patient reassurance
and assessment of the suitability of the patient for
treatment.
