“…The existence of a muscle pump involving the zygomaticus major and the facial vein also may be supported by the low variability in the course and location of the facial vein (0.0%‐2.0%) compared to the high variability in the course of the facial artery. This consistency in course and location of the facial vein has important teleologic implications that support the existence of such a muscle pump …”

The number of cosmetic surgical and cosmetic minimally invasive procedures performed in the United States has been increasing over the past two decades. The annual National Plastic Surgery Statistics report released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed that the number of cosmetic surgical procedures in 2018 was 1,811,740, whereas the number of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures was 15 909 931. Together they represent an increase of 163% in cosmetic procedures when compared to the number of procedures performed in 2000 (6 748 610). 1 With the majority of these procedures-especially the minimally invasive ones-being performed in the face, 1 the need for a greater understanding of facial anatomy has driven clinicians and

“…2C), has been reported very rarely as per our literature search. 16 Bondaz et al 17 observed a bilateral variation of FV in computed tomography, where the FV drained into the RMV within the parotid glad. They opine that variations of facial vessels are of great importance because a good arterial inflow and venous outflow are vital for survival of free flaps.…”

As the facial transplantation procedures are becoming more popular and frequent in recent years, for repairing facial trauma, variations in the veins of head and neck needs to be reported time and again. This study was undertaken to examine the course and drainage pattern of the facial vein and external jugular vein on this context and emphasize its surgical implications. The authors studied the head and neck region of 50 embalmed cadavers of both sexes to document normal and variant anatomy of facial, retromandibular, and external jugular veins. In 30% of the head and neck regions, different draining pattern of the above-mentioned veins were observed. One of the rare variation discovered was the splitting of the retromandibular vein to embrace the external carotid artery within the parotid gland. The data about variations in the termination of facial vein, retromandibular vein, and external jugular vein, as observed in the present study might be useful in avoiding accidental injury to these vessels during any surgical intervention in the face as well as neck. Level of Evidence: IV.

“…Although the FA is known to demonstrate wide anatomical variation, the FV usually follows a more predictable course beginning in the inner canthal area and draining into the IJV . Cadaveric studies evaluating facial vein anatomy have demonstrated variation rates ranging from 0.3% to 9%, with most consisting of drainage into the EJV. To our knowledge, the donor venous anatomy described herein constitutes the first report of bilateral drainage of the FVs into the AJVs.…”

arch in one-third of cases, with this incidence dropping to approximately 10% further distally. Based on this, techniques such as the Borschel 3 and subzygomatic triangle 2 have been described, with the Borschel technique being a relatively distal harvest.In the present study, 11% of patients had a reduction in muscle bulk that was found on clinical assessment, which was consistent with results of an anatomical study. 5 Atrophy detected on MRI suggested that the superficial masseter was more likely than the deep masseter to be affected with the Borschel method of nerve harvest. Given the low risk of masseteric paralysis associated with the Borschel technique, 3 our experience in the present study shows that there is no need for routine postoperative MRI/EMG tests after this procedure, unless clinical indications are present (eg, reduced masseter bulk) or as part of the preoperative assessment for subsequent temporalis transfers.
