Abstract

A facial cosmetic surgeon must have an in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and its associated hard and soft tissues. It is imperative for the surgeon to be able to appreciate and define elements of facial aesthetics as well as the stigmata of an aging face. It is critical to be able to objectively analyze facial features preoperatively in order to correctly identify areas of concern and to arrive at an appropriate treatment plan for each patient. This chapter will review how to properly perform an aesthetic facial evaluation.
