Plane
Which layer receives the product, and what governs the needle or cannula decision.
AN ATDERA PROGRAMME · DIRECTED BY PROF. DR. SELÇUK TUNALI
Facial Anatomy Live
One day of live cadaver dissection for medical aesthetics. Saturday 7 November 2026 · Online, in English.
- Fresh frozen specimen
- Assessed CPD certificate
- For licensed clinicians
- ATDERA Global Limited · UK-registered provider
- Certificates verifiable at atdera.com/verify
- No product sponsorship

Every injection is an anatomical act. The artery does not announce itself; the plane does not forgive guesswork. On 7 November, the anatomy of the aesthetic face is opened live, layer by layer, on fresh frozen tissue, and every claim is verified with dye before your eyes.
Trends change. The anatomy does not.
The day
Six blocks, one specimen, one map
| Block | Collapsed line | Expanded content |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The layered faceFive layers opened on a hemiface; fat compartments; SMAS; the retaining ligaments | Live opening of the five layers on a hemiface; superficial and deep fat compartments; SMAS continuity; the orbital, zygomatic, masseteric and mandibular retaining ligaments.Dye: subcutaneous versus supraperiosteal bolus; needle and cannula spread within the layer |
| 2 | Upper face and templeSupratrochlear and supraorbital bundles; toxin diffusion planes; the temple's injection planes | Forehead layers; emergence and transition points of the supratrochlear and supraorbital bundles; the glabellar complex and the anatomical basis of toxin diffusion; the injection planes of the temple, the middle temporal vein and the deep temporal arteries.Dye: deep temporal plane bolus; superficial placement in the glabellar region |
| 3 | Periorbital and midfaceTear trough; infraorbital bundle; angular artery; the plane for polynucleotides and boosters | Tear trough and the orbicularis retaining ligament; SOOF; the infraorbital bundle; the angular artery at the medial canthus; the tortuous course of the facial artery; malar and deep medial cheek fat; the pyriform region; the plane for polynucleotides and boosters beneath the eye.Dye: supraperiosteal medial cheek bolus; cannula plane in the infraorbital region |

Dye: submucosal versus intramuscular bolus in the lip
5Lower face, jawline and the ageing faceFacial artery at the mandible; the male lower face; bone, fat and ligament change
The facial artery crossing the mandible; the mental nerve; jowl fat, the mandibular ligament and the prejowl sulcus; the chin and masseteric region with the structural differences of the male lower face; bone resorption vectors, deep fat deflation and ligament laxity read within the region.
Dye: bolus in the jawline and chin planes
6The Vascular MapThe unified arterial map on one specimen; embolic routes; hyaluronidase target planes
The unified map of the day's arteries on a single specimen; embolic routes toward the orbit and the logic of retrograde flow; the angular vein and venous caution; region-by-region reading of hyaluronidase target planes.
Dye: dyed arterial demonstration (arteries prepared with coloured polymer)
09.45–18.00 Istanbul time · questions collected in advance · moderated discussion closes every block. The day opens with a statement of respect for the donor and closes with a single frame: the completed Vascular Map.
One specimen, one narrative, one map.
Applications are screened on submission; most receive a decision within minutes. Acceptance precedes payment.

Three lenses
Three questions in every block
Vessel
What runs where, and how depth and course vary.
Rescue
When things go wrong, what the anatomy says, and which plane hyaluronidase targets.
Why live
Why live, and why no patient demonstration
- You can ask. Questions are collected before the day and answered inside every block; a recording cannot be questioned.
- Dye verification happens in front of you: the layer product actually occupies, shown in real time on tissue.
- One specimen, one narrative: the morning's layers become the evening's Vascular Map.
- No product sponsorship. The curriculum is bound to no brand; the day is committed entirely to anatomy, which is why there is no patient demonstration.

Certification
Certification
Certificates are issued on completion of the assessed programme, not on attendance. A 25-item examination, image-based and scenario-based, pass mark 70 per cent, two attempts. Certificates are signed by the Course Director and the Director of ATDERA and carry a unique identifier verifiable at atdera.com/verify. ATDERA Global Limited is a Registered CPD Provider with the CPD Review Board — formerly the CPD Standards Board — under provider accreditation OGNOK8QASVG73, and the certificate is issued as CPD. This programme confers knowledge-based professional development; it does not certify procedural competence.
