Ep 181 How New Anatomical Concepts Can Help Improve Your Injecting | Professor Sebastian Cotofana

Episode 181 hosts Professor Sebastian Cotofana (Associate Professor of Anatomy at the Mayo Clinic, USA)

Sebastian is the world's best well-known anatomist for facial aesthetics, a prolific researcher and has published well over 100 peer reviewed articles and book chapters.

We discuss:

• Sebastian's background and training
• What a typical day looks like for him
• Who does his research and how he coordinates this
• The hierarchy of authorship on academic papers

We then do something different for this episode and drill down into the details of four of his recent and best known clinical papers. We discuss for each paper:

- What the paper is about and why it was done?

- What were the methods and the main outcomes?

• What is the learning point and relevance to injectors?
