Facial Assessment in a Diverse World
The December issue of Dermatologic Surgery includes a supplemental issue dedicated to helping dermatologists take an individualized, whole-face approach to rejuvenation in aesthetic dermatology. ASDS President Kavita Mariwalla, MD, served as the Guest Editor and lead author.
"Facial rejuvenation is most effective when guided by a holistic, patient-centered assessment that integrates anatomical, psychological and cultural dimensions. Emerging digital tools and structured frameworks now enable clinicians to translate this multidimensional understanding into individualized treatment plans." — Excerpt from the article, "Putting it all Together: Assessing the Whole Face in the Context of the Whole Patient"
