ABSTRACT

Beauty is intrinsically related to the search for harmony, and is a powerful means of achieving intimate well-being. Throughout the history of mankind, great value has been given to beauty in objects and people. Self-esteem is enhanced when an individual feels he or she externalizes an image of youthfulness, vitality, and health. Inevitably, aging brings about changes that are undesirable. The face, due to its exposure and expression and the constant action of gravity, is frequently the main focus of anxiety in individuals who have attained a certain age. Patients will seek the plastic surgeon to correct these anatomical alterations.
