Abstract

Knowledge of the cutaneous anatomy of the head and neck requires an ability to recognize surface landmarks and essential subcutaneous structures, and is an essential part of surgical training. In skin surgery, an understanding of cutaneous anatomy of the head and neck is important for predicting acceptable cosmetic outcomes and providing appropriate anesthesia and reducing postoperative bleeding complications. This chapter focuses on step-by-step descriptions of the essential anatomic structures of the head and neck regions.
