Aesthetic facial reconstruction: blending human perception and the facial subunit theory.
Facial reconstructive surgical results play a key role in how an individual accepts themselves and how society accepts the individual. Surgeons must strive to create the most aesthetic results, which includes reestablishing the expected contours, highlights, and landmarks. By understanding the subunits theory, plastic surgical nurses can provide patients with knowledgeable preoperative teaching, and can better anticipate the scope and necessary equipment for each reconstruction.
