The physical attractiveness of the face holds a profound influence on an individual's social life, daily interactions, and overall perception of life. When it comes to aesthetic facial surgery, meticulous surgical planning is essential to achieve desired results. A comprehensive analysis of the patient's current and desired facial features from both soft and hard tissue perspectives is crucial. It is noteworthy that significant changes in facial aesthetics can be achieved more effectively by altering the main bony structures of the face rather than solely focusing on soft tissue and skin alterations. Various surgical and clinical techniques are available to augment, reduce, or refine the most prominent aspects of facial aesthetics, including alterations to the cheek, chin, nose, para-nasal area, and jaw angle. These techniques can be categorized as office-based or non-invasive procedures, such as filler injections, facial liposculpture, or liposuction, or invasive surgical interventions, such as facial prostheses and maxillofacial osteotomies.

To achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes in patients undergoing bi-maxillary or mono-maxillary orthognathic surgery, a holistic and integrated approach is paramount. These integrated approaches have embraced the latest techniques in 3-dimensional printing, computer-assisted surgery, tissue engineering, and stem-cell therapy to deliver positive and lasting results.

In the realm of facial analysis and clinical evaluation, the book delves into comprehensive assessments of facial morphology, skeletal structure, and soft tissue characteristics. It provides valuable guidance on best practices in surgical techniques, such as bone contouring, genioplasty, mentoplasty, malarplasty, rhinoplasty, orthognatic surgery, and intra-oral plastic surgery. Additionally, chapters are dedicated to lifting procedures, including blepharoplasty and necklift, to rejuvenate and enhance facial aesthetics.

By combining a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and surgical expertise, Integrated Procedures in Facial Cosmetic Surgery serves as a valuable resource for plastic surgeons and dermatologists seeking to excel in facial cosmetic surgery. It equips practitioners with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver exceptional results, helping patients achieve a more harmonious and confident facial appearance.
