PMU Facial Anatomy & Mapping 4

Question 1

Which blood vessel supplies the eyelid area and must be considered to avoid excessive bruising during eyeliner PMU?

Accepted Answer

Supraorbital artery and its branches

Answer

The supraorbital artery and its palpebral branches supply the upper eyelid, and disrupting these vessels during PMU can cause significant bruising.

Question 2

In facial thirds analysis, the middle third of the face spans from which landmark to which landmark?

Accepted Answer

Glabella to the base of the nose (subnasale)

Answer

The middle third extends from the glabella (between the brows) to the subnasale (base of the nose), encompassing the nose area.

Question 3

The 'philtrum' is anatomically important in lip PMU because it directly defines which aesthetic feature?

Accepted Answer

The central bow (Cupid's bow peaks) position of the upper lip

Answer

The philtrum columns frame the philtrum groove and align with the Cupid's bow peaks, directly guiding the central arch placement in lip PMU mapping.

Question 4

When mapping eyebrows for a client with close-set eyes, how should the medial brow head be adjusted?

Accepted Answer

Started slightly further from the midline than the alar base to create visual width

Answer

For close-set eyes, starting the brow head slightly lateral to the standard alar base reference helps create visual separation between the eyes.

Question 5

The frontalis muscle's action is significant for PMU brow placement because it primarily causes which movement?

Accepted Answer

Elevating the brows and creating horizontal forehead wrinkles

Answer

The frontalis elevates the eyebrows and creates horizontal forehead lines; habitual frontalis use can affect natural brow resting position.
