Introduction: The facial artery is the anterior branch of the external carotid artery and forms the major source of nourishment to the face and terminates as the angular artery. The variations in the facial artery is highly useful to surgeons and clinicians in facial reconstructions and evaluating various clinical conditions. Aim: To identify and trace the branches of the facial artery in the face. Settings and Design: It is an observational study. Methods and Material: The present study is a descriptive observational study done by dissection method in 50 cadavers. The facial artery branches were identified and traced from their origin to the termination. Care was taken not to damage the vessels. Variations were documented and analyzed. Statistical Analysis Used: The data obtained were entered in a master chart. All qualitative data obtained were quantified according to the frequencies. Frequencies were calculated as percentages. Results: In 73% of cases all the facial branches were present. The facial artery terminated as the angular artery in 82% of cases, as lateral nasal in 12%, superior labial and alar artery in 3% of cases each. 10% of cases showed the presence of the alar branch and pre masseteric was seen in 18%. Conclusions: Variations in the facial artery are useful to anatomists and surgeons alike. These studies provide information that is welcome in this world of cosmetic surgeries of face.
