Contemporary Strategies in Facial Aesthetic Surgery

The urge to improve the way we look is as old as humanity itself. Anecdotal and research evidence shows repeatedly that society favours beauty. Whilst stature (and clothing!) may be able to cover our perceived bodily imperfections, our faces provide a primary means of interaction with the world and our fellow man. Facial harmony and sympathy confer opportunity and privilege from the preferred smile of a newborn baby to the successful job interview. Under such circumstances, it is of no great surprise that the aesthetic surgery of the face enjoys great popularity amongst the public, and commands ever more refinement and sophistication from the profession.

This presentation illustrates the many ways in which facial anatomy can be adapted to enhance the facial aesthetic. Our facial appearance reflects the marriage of hard tissue - the facial skeleton, and soft tissue – the overlying skin, nerves, vessels and muscle. Contemporary surgical techniques allow safe and consistently reliable modification of the interaction of those tissues - to regain a lost youth or change appearance altogether.

As a result the power to effect a change of craniofacial appearance with surgery has broad application to both purely aesthetic and essentially reconstructive applications - which often invites ethical debate. In this discussion, examples from facial aesthetic surgery and craniofacial reconstruction illustrate the ability of the anatomically aware surgeon to make life changing differences. It is incumbent upon the profession, the public and various commentators to promote, enjoy, and report these techniques responsibly.
