Facial rejuvenation and beautification in all breeds is a true challenge for an artistic surgeon, where the surgeon's art and expertise play a fundamental role in making accurate diagnoses and deciding the appropriate technique and type of surgery for each patient. This is done in such a way that we can rejuvenate and beautify the face in a harmonious way across all three facial thirds, achieving natural results, leaving patients looking younger, more beautiful, with an attractive, relaxed look, and not looking as if they've had surgery. The author presents his 36 years of experience operating on all breeds in Cartagena, Colombia. which is a multiethnic city where whites, Afro-descendants, Indians and different types of mixed races live due to the crossing between the different races and to beautify and rejuvenate faces, the artist surgeon has to perform one or more simultaneous facial plastic surgeries on his patients, such as: Forehead surgery, Blepharoplasty, Direct eyebrow surgery, Rhinoplasty augmentation or reduction as the case may be, Mentoplasty augmentation or reduction, Double chin liposuction with or without Cervicoplasty as the case may be, Cheiloplasty, Otoplasty, Gingival Smile Correction, Bichectomy and Cervicofacial Rhytidoplasty.
Objective:
To demonstrate that patients' faces vary depending on their race. Therefore, the author demonstrates the different surgical techniques used to rejuvenate and beautify the face of multiethnic patients.
