Resumen
ALCOLEA LOPEZ, J.M.. Update on the use of botulinium toxin in facial aesthetics. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.1, pp.81-90. ISSN 1989-2055.
Currently, botulinum toxin (BT) plays an important role in aesthetic-medical treatments of the face. This paper provides a didactical approach for practical training purposes, concerning the use of BT for facial rejuvenation when practising Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery. It is essential to understand the anatomy of ageing in order to integrate TB in combination with other techniques of the speciality employed to combat ageing by considering it as a whole. This paper resumes the current knowledge about the use of TB injections in the upper third of the face.
