Reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the face is an always evolving and improving field that merges technological innovation and multidisciplinary approaches to address functional, psychological, and aesthetic needs.
The face constitutes a symbol of identity and a medium for communication, and with such fundamental function poses a unique challenge for surgeons, who must balance the restoration of anatomical function with the aesthetic expectations of patients.
We aim to explore the latest innovations and key challenges in facial surgery, seeking scientific contributions that analyze new techniques, tools, and clinical approaches. Articles submitted to this topic can delve into both reconstructive and aesthetic aspects, with a focus on the integration of these two domains.
Suggested themes include, but are not limited to:
1. Emerging Technologies: Applications of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality in surgical planning and treatment customization.
2. Tissue Regeneration: Use of advanced biomaterials and stem cells for restoring facial structures.
3. Minimally Invasive Surgery: Innovations in endoscopic and non-invasive techniques for facial rejuvenation.
4. Improving the tradition: modifications of “classical” techniques and approaches
5. Psychological and Ethical Impact: Studies on the psychological implications of treatments and the ethical challenges in managing patient expectations.
6. Long-Term Outcomes: Analyses of quality of life and improvement in aesthetic, function and psychological well-being.
7. New clinical and regenerative frontiers: use of nonsurgical approaches and regenerative medicine in facial aesthetics and oncology.
Among the objectives of the Research Topic we would like to include:
• Foster knowledge sharing among researchers and resident in plastic and aesthetic facial surgery.
• Encourage the development of integrated approaches that combine aesthetics and functionality.
• Highlight the role of new technologies and multidisciplinary collaborations in improving clinical outcomes.
We invite plastic surgeons, researchers, and other medical professionals to contribute original articles, systematic reviews, case reports, and clinical studies. Our intent is to serve as a platform to discuss the present and the perspectives future of facial surgery, promoting innovation and scientific progress in the field.
Frontiers in Surgery thanks Dr Marcello Molle and Dr Martin Iurilli for coordinating the Research Topic.
