Looks like
Starts at the inner corner of the eye and runs down and back across the cheek, behind the facial artery, to below the jaw.
What it does
Drains the forehead, nose, lips, cheeks and chin.
Keeping it well
Through the angular vein it links to the veins behind the eye. A boil on the nose or upper lip with eyelid swelling, fever or double vision needs a doctor fast.
