In this lesson

In this lesson, we will delve into the dynamic nature of facial aesthetics and how our faces change over time.

As we age, our faces undergo a variety of changes. These can include shifts in muscle tone, and 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.

One fundamental aspect of facial aesthetics is asymmetry. Everyone's face is naturally asymmetrical, with subtle differences between the left and right sides. Interestingly, studies have shown that the left side of the face is often more dominant.

In this lesson, we will explore the reasons behind facial asymmetry and the implications it has for aesthetic treatments. By recognising these inherent asymmetries, you can better tailor your approach to enhance facial harmony and achieve more balanced, natural-looking results for your patients.
