{"title":"Deciphering Multi-Axis Facial Rotation: The Key to Understanding Facial Asymmetry.","authors":"Erik Koppert, Kyu-Ho Yi","doi":"10.1097/PSN.0000000000000628","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/PSN.0000000000000628","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Facial asymmetry, manifesting as visible differences between the two sides of the face, is common. These disparities can be structural (inherent in the individual's facial bone structure or soft tissues), or functional (the result of variations in muscle tone or nerve function, and apparent only during expressions like smiling or frowning). To achieve optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes in aesthetics, orthodontics, and facial reconstructive surgery, practitioners must understand and address these asymmetries. Traditionally, members of the cosmetic surgery specialty have valued symmetry, linking it to attractiveness and perceived health. However, absolute symmetry can seem unnatural, leading to a preference for slight asymmetry in the face, which adds character. In this article, we explore facial asymmetry using rotations along the vertical (X), horizontal (Y), and depth (Z) axes. As the face ages, changes resulting from bone resorption become significant because they alter facial contours and intensify existing asymmetries. Recognizing and managing these changes is essential for providing effective aesthetic interventions that enhance both the natural appearance and functionality of the face. Thus, studying facial asymmetry plays a pivotal role in medical and aesthetic practices by highlighting the importance of a tailored approach that respects the natural variance in human faces.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 4","pages":"208-214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202394","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}

We placed smooth (n = 50), textured (n = 50), and nanotextured (n = 100) implants in subpectoral pockets in 200 women. We used several methods to evaluate the implants postoperatively, including ultrasound examination of tissue, analysis of biopsy samples, and assessment of postoperative dynamics at various stages of rehabilitation. We found a significant reduction in the risk for secondary mastopathy (i.e., changes in breast structure, including the formation of fibrous tissue, and inflammation) in the patients receiving implants with a nanotextured surface. We also noted that these patients showed an improvement in aesthetic parameters and a reduction in the risk for developing postoperative capsular contracture. Our evaluation of the aesthetic results showed an improvement in the natural shape, symmetry, and overall appearance of the breast in the patients who received nanotextured implants.
