This is a review of the innervation of the midface and nose as a guide to anesthesia in this region. Through an understanding of the embryologic development, better predictions of nerve coverage are possible. The variables encountered during surgery can be appreciated, and in a practical sense this leads to anesthetic approaches that allow comfortable and controlled surgery in this area.
