He lived through tumultuous upheaval and managed, though not through charm, to continually ride the waves of political change. David was born in Paris, France, in August 1748. His father was killed in a duel when David was a young boy, and his mother, wanting to provide David with an excellent education, sent him to live with his uncles, whowereprosperousarchitects.Even as a boy David knew he wanted to be an artist, which was somewhat of a disappointment to his wealthy, socially elite family. Perhaps because of this, David would make it a life-long priority to uplift the arts from mere craftsmanship to Art. He always thought an artist should be well read and in essence be a philosopher, in order to make the truest art possible. When David began his arts education, the first place his family looked for instructorswaswithin.David’s mother was a distant cousin of Francois Boucher. By the time Boucher was asked to tutor David, he had already been appointed First Painter to the king, Louis XVI. Boucher declined and sent Louis to another artist/instructor. David continuedhis educationandwassoonreceiving formal training at the Royal Academy, which was located in the formerpalaceof theLouvre.Thecompetition at the Royal Academy was great, and the highest prize for every student was the Prix de Rome. David entered the competition 4 times before finallywinning theprizeonhis fifth attempt. While 4 consecutive rejections were not unheard of, these were extremely frustrating for David and may have sown the first seeds of antiestablishment feelings within the artist. On David’s trip to Rome he was heavily influenced by the art of the Greeks and Romans. Before the trip David was painting in the rococo style, as were most of his contemporaries. This frothy, lighthearted period of David’s work is rarely highlighted, and all of the decorative work he did for homes has been destroyed. His style began to change while traveling in Italy and especially after a visit to Naples. Soon his work reflected this influence, and he developed a Neoclassicist style that became the foundation on which his fame as an artist is based. When David returned from Rome he began his career as a painter in earnest. He worked on portraits of the nobility and the upper class. Several examples of his work were shown in the Royal Academy–approved Salons. The influences of Rome on David were greater than those on his art alone. He was apparently affected by therepublicanismchampionedbythe Romans and began to express that in his larger, more public projects. The tide was beginning to turn in France as the Bastille prison in Paris was stormed (July 14, 1789) and the Revolution began. Although David had always painted those individuals whom the Revolution had now turned against, it seems that his liberal politics were well known enough to keep him away from the guillotine. Of course, David not only stayed away fro","PeriodicalId":55470,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery","volume":"14 4","pages":"304-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1001/archfacial.2012.766","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30766140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Innovations and scientific advancements abound in all directions of the globe. We can celebrate the advent of science without borders. Facial plastic surgery is simultaneously a very focused specialty, centered on reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the face, and one of the more expansive and connected. Our specialty interfaces with dermatology, ophthalmology, oral maxillofacial surgery, surgery, and more; in addition, it is integral to both otolaryngology–head and neck surgery and plastic surgery. The primary basic science of facial plastic surgery is wound healing encompassing areas from flap physiology to peripheral nerve regeneration; our research, however, embraces technologies from disciplines as diverse as lasers, biomaterials, computer simulation, biomechanics, outcomes research, and many more. Facial plastic surgery will benefit in numerous ways from The JAMA Network. It will allow us to access and share information with the many medical and surgical specialties with which we interface. In addition to the website’s ease of navigation and enhanced content, it will allow us to search for important information with semantic tagging on The JAMA Network, whether the subject is the neurosciences or epidemiology. The website platform brings creative new possibilities to our visual and technical specialty. The Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery—soon to be JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery—was founded as a global journal. From the beginning years we have been the official journal of both the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies (the Federation). The Federation’s recent scientific meeting in Rome, Italy, was the largest such international meeting ever held, thanks to the expertise and hard work of its leaders Pietro Palma, MD, Paolo Castelnuovo, MD, and Abel-Jan Tasman, MD. As president of the Federation, it was my pleasure to welcome 2 JAMA Network staff, Elizabeth Solaro and Sara Nagy, to Rome to help present the many opportunities our new family of journals will provide. Interest in both manuscript submission and subscriptions was intense, and there is little doubt we will see impressive growth outside North America in coming years. The smartphone/tablet app provides a unique opportunity to introduce our global colleagues to the best resource possible to stay abreast of the latest information and to improve care for their patients. Medical publishing is transforming rapidly and its future is unclear. We do know, however, that facial plastic surgery will be well positioned to communicate our scientific advances in both print and web on the new, forward-looking JAMA Network. As a specialty we are a global family and will benefit immensely by joining The JAMA Network family.","PeriodicalId":55470,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery","volume":"14 4","pages":"237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1001/archfacial.2012.779","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30731086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A pleasant, attentive approach to patients, with appropriate friendliness, interest, and respect, will be helpful in putting them at ease. One must be cautious, however, not to cross a boundary that lies within the cultural and/or religious fabric of the population.

Recent reports in the literature have described combining these 2 therapies, claiming improved and longer-lasting laser resurfacing results. To date, no scientific investigation has been undertaken to prove or disprove this theory. Design: Institutional review board–approved, prospective, randomized, blinded study at university-affiliated outpatient cosmetic surgery offices. Intervention: Patients had one side of their face injected, at specific anatomic subsites (crow’s feet, horizontal forehead furrows, and glabellar frown lines), with botulinum toxin 1 week before laser resurfacing. After receiving an injection, patients underwent cutaneous laser exfoliation on both sides of the face with either a carbon dioxide or an erbium dual-mode laser. Main Outcome Measures: Patients’ injected (experimental) and noninjected (control) sides were compared after laser resurfacing. Follow-up was documented at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after laser resurfacing. Subjective evaluation, based on a visual analog scale, was performed in person by a blinded observer. Furthermore, a blinded panel of 3 expert judges (1 facial plastic surgeon, 1 oculoplastic surgeon, and 1 cosmetic dermatologist) graded 35-mm photographs taken during postoperative follow-up visits. Results: Ten female patients were enrolled in the study. A 2-tailed t test showed that all sites that were pretreated with botulinum toxin showed statistically significant improvement (P .05) over the nontreated side, with the crow’s feet region showing the greatest improvement. Comparing results between the carbon dioxide and erbium lasers did not result in any statistically significant differences. Conclusions: Hyperdynamic facial lines, pretreated with botulinum toxin before laser resurfacing, heal in a smoother rhytid-diminished fashion. These results were clinically most significant in the crow’s feet region. We recommend pretreatment of movement-associated rhytids with botulinum toxin before laser resurfacing. For optimum results, we further recommend continued maintenance therapy with botulinum toxin postoperatively.","PeriodicalId":55470,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery","volume":"14 3","pages":"156-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1001/archfacial.2011.1650","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30765951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
