Aesthetic strategies for the aging Asian face.
Aging that manifests in the Asian face is remarkably different, yet in many ways similar, to that of the white face. These dissimilarities and similarities are highlighted in this article along with overall strategies to approach the aging Asian face. This article focuses almost exclusively on the judgment and thinking that are required when approaching the Asian patient. More specifically, one issue that is covered is the cultural aspect that pertains to patient motivation and perspectives on cosmetic enhancement. The other equally important aspect that is addressed is elaboration of a new paradigm on what constitutes a youthful face, especially as that model relates to the Asian face.
