Abstract
As less invasive, ambulatory aesthetic procedures have become more popular over the last decade, so too has the use of local and regional anesthesia. The first step in performing accurate nerve block technique is to study the anatomy of the sensory nerves, the foramina from which they arise, and their relationship to surrounding and underlying structures. This chapter describes nerve block techniques for the commonly performed procedures in aesthetic medicine described in this book. These include blocks of the sensory nerves of the face, wrist block, and ankle block.
