ABSTRACT

Medical profileplasty allows the physician to attain relevant aesthetic results after just a single session; the simultaneous correction to the forehead, nose, lips, chin, and submental area leads to an overall improvement in facial aesthetics and harmony, avoiding scars and costs deriving from general anesthesia. This methodology is set to become a leading practice in achieving the global, coordinated, and time-efficient achievement of a beautiful facial appearance. Non-surgical profileplasty allows the physician to avoid general anesthesia, splints, swelling, and bruising and allows patients to return to work in a very short period. There is a huge number of surgical techniques to achieve a complete profileplasty, such as surgical forehead correction, rhinoplasty, lip lipofilling, genioplasty, and submental liposuction. Surgical and non-surgical profileplasty are both fundamental techniques with various degrees of invasiveness—negligible in non-surgical and mini-invasive or clearly invasive in surgical, including also open rhinoplasty.
