Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the latest developments and ongoing challenges in facial plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine. As patient expectations evolve and technologies such as AI, regenerative medicine, and 3D printing gain ground, the field continues to push the boundaries of form, function, and safety. We welcome original research, reviews, and expert perspectives on surgical innovations, non-invasive techniques, patient outcomes, and ethical considerations.
