“…Thus, important anthropometric differences exist in comparison to western populations, but also within the Middle East. Conflicts with ethnic identity or facial disharmony may be created if western-derived neoclassical canons of beauty 6,30,41,42 are used as the only guide when planning facial treatment for Middle Eastern women.…”

Background: Middle Eastern women worldwide increasingly seek aesthetic treatment to enhance their beauty and improve self-esteem, but literature describing standards of beauty across the Middle East are scarce. Knowledge of facial anthropometry and Middle Eastern subregional beauty preferences and aesthetic weaknesses are key to develop an effective facial enhancement strategy that does not jeopardize ethnic identity or facial harmony. Methods: Dermatologists and plastic surgeons from 8 Middle Eastern countries who had 7.5–25 (mean 13.5) years of experience in aesthetic medicine examined female Middle Eastern beauty in 4 geographic subregions: the Gulf (comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), Iran, Lebanon, and Egypt. They developed consensus opinions regarding facial beauty, aesthetic deficiencies, and injectable treatment solutions. Results: Facial anthropometry differs between Middle Eastern and Western women, and also within the region. Although subregional differences are seen, beauty is generally recognized by an oval or round face; temple fullness; pronounced, elevated, arched eyebrows; large almond-shaped eyes; well-defined, laterally full cheeks; a small, straight nose; full lips; a well-defined jawline; and a prominent, pointed chin. The relative prominence of the nose necessitates attention to the lips and the shape and projection of the chin. Aging is often accompanied by midface sagging that leads to increased heaviness in the lower facial third. Conclusions: Middle Eastern beauty is characterized by striking eyes, defined cheeks, and full lips. These consensus opinions inform aesthetic practitioners who treat Middle Eastern women worldwide about their aesthetic ideals and the implications for treatment.

“…Despite some recent debate on the issue 46,47 , it appears that an accurate and reproducible method to perform an injecting treatment of facial view and profile has not been well encoded yet. MD-codes improved the areas to be treated, with higher precision, but the overall concern about how to standardize an overall methodology to correct all these puzzle areas yet remains.…”

The assessment of correct anatomy of face and the evaluation of the dynamic interplay between anatomy and function, in order to get an overall improvement, is a leading topic in aesthetic surgery and has increased its impact in the recent years. A non-surgical impact technique reduces both post-treatment discomfort and the overall cost. Obtaining the simultaneous correction in forehead, nose, lips and chin means obtaining an overall improvement in face view. Likewise, the high predictability of the procedure and the absence of alloplastic implant, bone re-absorption and scars have to be considered in non-surgical aesthetic medicine. In conclusion, a single-session of profile correction using HA filler should be proposed to patient, every time the aesthetic practitioner sees a coexistence of forehead, nose lips and chin defects.

A beleza pode ser definida como uma combinação de qualidades que dão prazer aos sentidos ou a mente. Cirurgiões plásticos acreditam que o volume da bochecha é um importante determinante da beleza facial e aparência jovem. Na Ortodontia, não é suficiente apenas perceber o que interfere no sorriso, é necessário diagnosticar o que se encontra fora da normalidade, para que se possa estabelecer um plano de tratamento. Assim como nos problemas funcionais seguimos condutas que nos levam ao diagnóstico das anomalias, os problemas estéticos também necessitam de parâmetros para que encontremos os defeitos. Nesse âmbito, as investigações científicas sobre os critérios utilizados pelo ortodontista e pacientes para definir um sorriso ou uma face como esteticamente agradável poderiam edificar uma sólida escada para o entendimento das diferenças entre a percepção do profissional e a do paciente. Durante a execução do tratamento, a consulta de pesquisas cientificas que norteiem a situação favorece seu decurso. Nortear a identificação e manejo no diagnóstico e indicação adequada da bichectomia foi o objetivo desta revisão de literatura realizada nas bases de dados científicas National Library of Medicine, Washington, DC (MEDLINE: Pubmed) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Foram recuperados 1710 artigos científicos, que após seleção resultaram em 48 artigos relacionados à descrição e manejo no diagnóstico e indicação adequada da Bichectomia, escolhidos para elaboração desta revisão de literatura. A existência de materiais de fácil consulta com embasamento científico adequado para orientação aos pacientes na tomada de decisões enquanto a Bichectomia favorece manejo do tratamento. Palavras-chave: Bichectomia. Gordura de Bichat. Estética. Diagnostico. Ortodontia. Abstract Beauty can be defined as a combination of qualities that give pleasure to the senses or the mind. Plastic surgeons believe that cheek volume is an important determinant of facial beauty and youthful appearance. In orthodontics, it is not enough to just understand what interferes with the smile, it is necessary to diagnose what is out of the ordinary, so that a treatment plan can be established. Just as in functional problems we follow conducts that lead us to the diagnosis of anomalies, aesthetic problems also need parameters in order to find the defects. In this context, scientific investigations on the criteria used by orthodontists and patients to define a smile or face as aesthetically pleasing could build a solid ladder for understanding the differences between the professional's and the patient's perception. During the execution of the treatment, the consultation of scientific research that guides the situation favors its course. To guide the identification and management in the diagnosis and adequate indication of bichectomy was the objective of this literature review carried out in the scientific databases National Library of Medicine, Washington, DC (MEDLINE: Pubmed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). 1710 scientific articles were retrieved, which after selection resulted in 48 articles related to the description and management in the diagnosis and adequate indication of Bichectomy, chosen for the elaboration of this literature review. The existence of easy-to-consult materials with an adequate scientific basis to guide patients in making decisions while Bichectomy favors treatment management. Keywords: Bichectomy. Buccal Fat Pad. Aesthetics. Diagnostics. Orthodontics
