About this lesson

Create elegant cheekbones in patients who don't need volume. This mid-face filler course teaches contouring that sculpts rather than fills.

Dr. Sopena demonstrates the ogee curve technique: placement on the upper zygomatic arch (not mid-bone) that creates higher projection and a slimmer appearance.

Essential for practitioners who want dermal filler training online and offer high-end contouring services.

Things you’ll learn

  • Zygomatic arch anatomy and how to palpate from temple to mid-face to identify the upper arch for high placement.
  • The ogee curve contouring technique using upper arch placement for elegant lift and projection.
  • Managing the palpebromalar groove that deepens after contouring.
  • Why high G-prime products like Stylage XL are essential for maintaining projected contours that don't migrate or flatten.

Why Take this Course?

  • Young patients with good volume are an underserved market. They need sculpting expertise, not more filler, and will pay premium prices.
  • Upper zygomatic arch placement creates the coveted ogee curve that photographs beautifully and makes patients look instantly more elegant.
  • One treatment delivers multiple benefits: higher cheekbones, a slimmer face, lifted nasolabial folds, and stretched skin that minimizes visible pores.
  • Real-time molding demonstrations show exactly how to integrate product for smooth, natural-looking definition that avoids lumps.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Palpate and target the upper zygomatic arch for high placement that creates the elegant ogee curve contour.
  • Execute the contouring protocol using Stylage XL with the right dosing.
  • Soften the palpebromalar groove with minimal product through lateral entry and sub-muscular placement.
  • Differentiate contouring candidates from volume loss patients to offer appropriate treatments.
