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?

- 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.

Learning Outcomes:
- Palpate and target the upper zygomatic arch for high placement that creates the elegant ogee curve contour.
