AB Mastering  surgical  anatomy  is  crucial  for  the  dermatologic  surgeon,  not  only  to  obtain  the  best  cosmetic  outcome  but  also  to  avoid  complications  related  to  injury  of  underlying  anatomic  structures.  Since  a  significant  number  of  dermatologic  surgeries  are  performed  on  the  head  and  neck,  the  dermatologic  surgeon  ought  to  have  full  knowledge  of  the  facial  nerve  and  its  branches,  blood  supply,  sensory  nerves,  underlying  musculature,  and  specialized  structures  such  as  the  parotid  duct.  With  a  full  understanding  of  the  superficial  anatomy  of  this  complex  region,  the  physician  will  have  the  confidence  to  perform  a  wide  range  of  superficial  surgical  procedures  while  keeping  possible  risks  and  complications  in  mind.
