| | Abstract | In order to restore a specific form during aesthetic surgery it is self-evident that the surgeon needs to know the form exists. But more than this simple form restoration, the development of aesthetic restoration suggests a specific restoration in the context of the whole form. Developing a disciplined method of visualizing the problem is the first step toward being able to start an aesthetic sense or eye. Careful study of master artists drawings often forces the surgeon to simplify and concentrate not on parts, but parts as they relate to the whole face. Often the artist, as with the successful surgeon, must continually alternate consideration of a specific part with consideration of the whole. This discussion is meant to provide a few relationships and constructs so that the surgeon may start on the journey to development of the aesthetic eye. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
