The purpose of this study is to provide guidance for upcoming research by examining BMS-related literature using bibliometrics. In this analysis, the authors sourced 192 documents from Web of Science from 2000 to 2024. The authors manually screened the literature among those retrieved from the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) and the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Citespace was utilized for bibliometric analysis, visualizing collected results. Bibliometric analysis allowed us to explore the trends and patterns in BMS research literature. Since the year 2000, there has been a notable surge in research in this area. The University of Naples Federico II leads in research production in Italy. The journal with the most publications on the topic is Oral Diseases. The main subjects of discussion within the literature include the pathophysiology of BMS, its correlation with psychiatric diseases, and treatment approaches. On the basis of the analysis, new developments in BMS research may center on multidisciplinary methods combining mental health and dentistry. This approach could offer a more comprehensive understanding and treatment of the syndrome, addressing both the psychological and oral health aspects of BMS.</p>","PeriodicalId":15462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Craniofacial Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144649607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Written during his banishment to Tomis on the Black Sea, Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto express physical deterioration, alienation from one's reflection, and the loss of erotic and poetic identity. These poems provide a unique literary anatomy of aging, bearing relevance for contemporary esthetic and reconstructive surgery. This study presents a close reading of selected exile poems, focusing on visual metaphors associated with facial change: furrowed foreheads, gray hair, trembling voices, sagging features, and mirror estrangement. Ovid's lines such as \"The mirror no longer belongs to me\" and \"This is not the face I once used to charm with\" reflect a deep psychological rupture between body and identity. His poetic renderings of facial aging are interpreted through a clinical lens, aligned with narrative medicine and patient-centered care. The findings highlight how Ovid's language anticipates emotional concerns in esthetic patients-anxiety over visible decline, grief over lost youth, and the desire for narrative restoration through cosmetic intervention. The poet's exile becomes a metaphor for exile from one's former face. By integrating classic literature with clinical insight, this paper underscores the value of humanistic reflection in esthetic medicine. Ovid's portrayal of aging as metamorphosis invites surgeons to see not only external signs of age but also the emotional and symbolic transformations patients endure-and to respond with empathy.</p>","PeriodicalId":15462,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Craniofacial Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144642678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
