Raising the Bar in Aesthetic Medicine: Anatomy, Cadaver Training & Safety w/ Saadat & Haseeb
Want safer injections, better results, and fewer complications? In this episode of Younger By The Minute, hosts Jamie Speiser and Jennifer Speiser sit down with Dr. David Saadat (triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon) and Cheryl Haseeb, DNP (Pura Med Aesthetics & Aesthetic Nation Institute) to unpack how applied facial anatomy and cadaver training transform outcomes for injectors—and confidence for patients.
We cover why anatomy matters beyond textbooks, how to feel planes with a needle (“the needle has a camera”), course vetting, brand-agnostic filler selection by facial subunit & depth, and complication prevention/management (from vascular occlusion to everyday issues like nodules or overcorrection). Plus: details on the ANI x Saadat immersive cadaver roadshow — Dallas (Oct 24–25) and Houston (Oct 26).

What You’ll Learn
• The missing link: applied anatomy for injectors (not just surgical anatomy)
• How to “see” anatomy with the tip of your needle (depth, planes, fat pads, vessels)
• Brand-agnostic filler selection by area & rheology (forehead, temple, midface, etc.)
• Complications playbook: prevention, recognition, and step-by-step protocols
• How to vet training courses (reputation, bias, take-home application)
• Why collaboration over competition elevates outcomes across the industry
• Patient checklist: questions to ask your injector before treatment

Fast FAQs
Q: Who is this for?
A: Nurse injectors, NPs, PAs, MD/DOs, and practice owners who want safer, more predictable outcomes—and patients who want to know how to choose wisely.
Q: What makes these cadaver courses different?
A: Applied anatomy for injectables (depth + plane + product choice) and brand-agnostic discussion so you learn what actually fits each facial subunit.
Q: Do you cover complications?
A: Yes—recognition, protocols, and hands-on practice, from VO risk reduction to dissolving, nodule management, and neurotoxin asymmetries.
Q: I’ve done cadaver before—worth repeating?
A: Yes. New pearls, product updates, and muscle memory matter. Repetition = mastery.
Q: How do I enroll?
A: Use the links above for Dallas (Oct 24–25) and Houston (Oct 26).
