What separates a facial surgery treatment plan from a quote: the diagnosis behind each finding, the order of operations, and the named alternative.

Bichectomy suits a narrow group of faces. Who genuinely benefits, who regrets it at fifty, and why the buccal fat pad cannot be put back once removed.
