  • Title: Aesthetic surgery of the face.
    Author: Tardy ME, Parras G, Schwartz M.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 1991 Jan; 9(1):169-87. PubMed ID: 2022092.
    Abstract:
    A large variety of safe and effective surgical procedures to achieve rejuvenation is currently available. If surgery is carefully and properly performed, with an emphasis on a conservative approach, lasting and gratifying results may be realized. Great care must be taken to select appropriate and highly motivated individuals for such procedures, from the standpoint of both psychologic maturity and ideal anatomic configurations. Furthermore, patients seeking aesthetic surgery are generally healthy and well, unlike patients who seek medical care for disease; surgeons must exercise extraordinary care to ensure that rejuventation surgery does not result in an unwell patient. Clearly, the ideal outcome is represented by a patient happy and gratified by his improvement and a surgeon proud of his resultant achievement.
