Introduction To This Module
Welcome to the Facial Rotation Course and this first module. In this module, we will briefly summarise what our patients tell us they see, what we already know about facial asymmetry, some of the changes with age and most importantly what we are missing.

Lesson 3: What We Already Know and See
As we age, our faces undergo a variety of changes, in particular the underlying bone structure. Understanding these changes is crucial for effective aesthetic treatments, as it allows us to anticipate and address the evolving needs of our patients.

Lesson 4: What Our Brain Doesn't Let Us See
Due to Left Visual Hemi-Field Bias, we largely ignore the left side of the other person's face, leading to an incomplete assessment of asymmetrical facial features. As a result, we fail to make proper comparisons between the two sides of the face, causing us to miss opportunities to achieve the best possible results.

Lesson 5: We All See Things Differently
In addition to the visual left hemi-field bias, there are a variety of factors that influence individual ability to detect facial asymmetry.
