middle temporal vein

Runs 1-2cm above the zygomatic arch Can cause embolism and death

Aging of the eyes and periorbital region

courses from deep to superficial through the temporal fossa

Avoiding intravascular injections on the forehead

surface area increases orbital rims widen subsequent descent of eyebrows The lateral forehead remains relatively unchanged
