State-of-the-Art in Precision Medicine of Plastic Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Over the years, the concept of 'variability' as applied to medicine has expanded disproportionately, which has added complexity, to an already highly articulated picture. In plastic surgery, more than in other fields, the indication and quality of surgery depend on the surgeon's experience and potential surgical pathways related to health and disease status, also influenced by personal history and different environmental exposures. This is why even in the third millennium, plastic surgery remains an art that is practiced by making judgments and decisions, based on information that is far from complete. Although personalized care increasingly attracts the attention of various stakeholders, there is no shortage of critical issues. We invite you to submit papers to enhance knowledge regarding the application of new surgical techniques in the field of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, turning our gaze to the much sought-after Precision Medicine.
