Facial Aesthetics

The definitive reference on facial aesthetic analysis and reconstructive surgery in dentistry

Facial Aesthetics: Concepts and Clinical Diagnosis is a unique resource for facial aesthetic surgery and dentistry. It incorporates all aspects relevant to the work of the clinician involved in the management of facial deformities, providing the comprehensive clinical guide on facial aesthetics. Structured over 24 easy-to-follow chapters, Part I of Facial Aesthetics covers the historical evidence and concepts for facial aesthetics, including philosophical and scientific theories on attractiveness, beauty, facial proportions, expression and the psychological implications of facial deformities. Part II provides the practical guidelines, including clinical evaluation and diagnosis, initial consultation interview, acquisition of diagnostic records, complete clinical examination, analysis of the craniofacial complex, and in-depth analysis of each individual facial region.

Revised and expanded, the second edition had extensive additions to many chapters as well as two new chapters on facial aging and ethnic variations in aesthetic analysis. Coupling research and practical clinical advice, numerous illustrations and diagrams are included throughout the text to elucidate key concepts and provide clinical context.

Written by a highly qualified practitioner and researcher in the field, Facial Aesthetics also provides:

• A refined understanding and appreciation of the human face
• Step-by-step aesthetic analysis of each facial region
