Journal Of The European Academy Of Facial Plastic Surgery Features Renowned, Austin Plastic Surgeon
Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 15, 2017 -- Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery is proud to announce practice founder, Edward Buckingham, MD, was published in the most recent journal issue of Facial Plastic Surgery. Together with his associate, Sudeep Roy, MD, Dr. Buckingham reports on the growing number of complex facelift cases involving less favorable anatomical characteristics of the chin and neck. The article, The Difficult Neck in Facelifting, stresses surgical success rests in the plastic surgeon’s ability to recognize potential anatomical problems, and their knowledge of the available, cutting-edge techniques available for correction.
The number of facial and cervical rejuvenation procedures has been steadily on the rise, as surgical techniques continue to improve, and plastic surgery becomes more widely accepted. In turn, surgeons are faced with a larger number of patients with anatomical difficulties, making the rhytidectomy procedure more complex. Issues such as an under projected chin, platysmal banding, tenacious jowls, and prejowl volume deficits make obtaining the desired facelift results challenging.
In The Difficult Neck in Facelifting, Drs. Buckingham and Roy expand on the factors and concepts that lead to a complicated rhytidectomy procedure. Using specific case studies, and detailed information, Dr. Buckingham isolates several of the most commonly seen anatomical issues, stressing the importance of a meticulous examination of the anterior neck. Through a proper physical assessment, and knowledge in available corrective techniques, surgeons can include specific procedures which will help to ensure desired results.
Dr. Buckingham explains that with the wide range of patients seeking a facelift today, it is imperative surgeons have the ability to recognize potential issues during the consultation appointment, prior to scheduling surgery. He expands, “Unfortunately, not all those who present for rhytidectomy are endowed with favorable anatomic characteristics.” Dr. Buckingham then continues, “Identifying a patient’s specific aesthetic concerns is of paramount importance during any consultation and leads to a more productive and thoughtful discussion on what is attainable with current rejuvenation procedures.”
