Ten Rules
During the past 20 years, the author has performed more than 30,000 surgical procedures with the aim of improving patients’ appearance.
During this time, he has developed a professional philosophy which can be summed up in ten rules:
1. Your conduct toward your colleagues should be characterized by fairness. Cooperation not confronta tion is the most important thing.
2. Health takes precedence over beauty . Aesthetic surgeons, like all other ph ysicians, are bound by the Hippocratic Oath.
3. Genuine beauty cannot be purchased.
4. Healthy nutrition, sports, and a positive lifestyle often do more for a person’s look than aesthetic surgery.
5. A patient should never incur debts for aesthetic surgery .
6. Patients should be given comprehensive information about the costs and risks of the operation. Cooperation with a trained cosme­tician is a vital part of preo perative and postoperative treatment.
7. There are limits to what can be achieved by aesthetic surgery . Even the best aesthetic surgeon has dissatisfied patients.

8. Beware of poorly trained physicians, emotionally disturbed patients, and cranks.
9. Neither the doctor nor the patient stands to profit from long­drawn-out litigation; the only “winners” are the lawy ers.
10. A patient should never make a rash decision to undergo aesthetic surgery.Ifheorshehasanydoubtsatall,itisbesttoobtaina second opinion from another surgeon before going ahead with the surgery.
The decisive factors for the success of aesthetic surgery are the consci­entious instruction of patients, state-of-the-art surgical methods, and professional follow-up care. As a result of the large number of cases treated there over the years, the Lake Constance Clinic has an impres­sive photographic archive.
The manual has been designed as an audiovisual medium and is accompanied by a surgical atlas. The surgical techniques are explained concisely, objectively, and vividly to a target audience, including physi-
cians from all medical specialties. The aim of the authors is to improve

surgical results and preven t complica tions. It is intended less for spe­cialists in aesthetic surgery than for physicians who want to take up aesthetic surgery. The manual is therefore also suitable for interested students, interns, and residents. The surgical methods described hav e been applied in a large number of cases (more than 1000 for each technique); over the years, a sizable body of clinical and scientific documentation has been amassed for each method. The methods have proven themselves from the point of view of surgical outcome, risk minimization, and long-term results.

Standardized photo documentation is of fundamental importance in aesthetic plastic surgery. Historically, photo documentation has its
th
roots in the 18 technique by George Eastman, founder of the Kodak-Eastmann com­pany, did photography become accessible to a wider public and, as a result, more popular. In this chapter, the most important aspects of photo documentation will be explained and presented.
A fundamental aspect of high-quality standardized photography lies in the preoperative planning of the procedure. In this regard, imaging techniquesallowprocedurestobedepictedanddocumented,and enable the patient to be given a detailed explanation of the surgical procedure.
Furthermore, adequate documentation fulfils an important role in the medico-legal context.

It should be noted that the patient’s informed consent is required prior to photographs being taken and published.
Digital photo documentation has become an integral part of medical training and quality control. In particular, the increasing use of digital photography has set new standards and enables the production of digi­tal visual patient records.
For decades, photo documentation has had a firm place in academic practice. Ho wever, only with the adven t of the digital technique did photo documentation become a widely used instrument. A large num­berofsurgeonscarryoutthispracticeofdocumentationtoagreat extent independently. It is not rare that this results in non-standardized and incorrect documentation, which in turn can have a negative effect on the surgical result in the long-term. In addition, digital image pro­cessing techniques allow images to be manipulated and intentionally falsely depicted.
Nevertheless, digital photography has some clear advantages. One very important aspect is the significantly lower costs compared with analog photography. The time aspect is also significant, given that developing and digitalizing processes are dispensed with, thus guaranteeing imme­diate a vailability ofthis medium. In particular ,in an increasingly digi­tally networked society, audiovisual communication plays a central role.

Scientifically sound photo documentation requires that the object to be documented is photographed from various angles and perspectives. In facial plastic surgery , for example, the so-called Frankfurt horizontal plane plays a particularly important role. It depicts a standardized procedure with frontal, lateral, and 45° images. Thus, an imaginary line between the upper edge of the tragus and the infraorbital edge is formed.
In addition, camera equipment, film material, light sources, as well as background and picture detail should be standardized. Clothing or jewelry should not be worn. Of the innumerable reports in the special­ist literature on medical photo documentation, there are only a few studies which have specifically investigated the influence of incorrect photo documentation on aesthetic results. Sommer and Mendelsohn investigated how varied positioning of the object can lead to an altered appearance and, therefore, to differing evaluations of findings. They concluded that the slightest variation in positioning, such as flexion and extension of the head, can cause pronounced changes in the image asawhole.
To create internationally comparable standards, there is a consensus that nasal images, for example, should be taken frontally, laterally at a 90° angle on both sides, and at a 45° angle. Light quality, background, andcamerasettingsshouldbeconsistent.Aningenioussystemofnasal documentation was described by Kuhnl and Wolf, whereby all planes were documented and standardized by means of one single image with the help of mirrors in the form of a semi-circle.
In addition to the aforementioned aspects of photographic technique and instrumenta tion, an appropriate software program for data acqui­sition should be available. A good database enables images to be searched for and sorted by name, procedure, surgeon, as well as diag­nosis. All image data should be stored on a server in duplicate in order to minimize loss of data. In addition, all access should be password­protected in order to avoid distribution of confidential data to non­authorized third parties.
Themostrecentdevelopmentintheareaofnon-invasiveimagingtech­nology in plastic surgery is 3D laser scanning. Using this method, structures can be captured in three dimensions and depicted by means of a laser scanner. This opens up numerous possibilities in preoperative planning and the assessment of complex structures such as the female breast or the face, for example. Moreover, morphometric analyses and

2 Informed Consent in Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery
https://t.me/med1917
Informed consent forms the legal and ethical framework of all medical practice.
The roots of modern medical informed consent go back to 1914 when a NewYorkjudgestated:“Everyhumanbeingofadultyearsandsound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his body, and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patient’s consent com­mits an assault for which he is liable in damages.”
Widespread access to medical information via television and, in partic­ular, the internet has led to an increase in public awareness of aesthetic plastic surgery.
Patients consider themselves not simply as cons um er s, but as partners and decision-makers during the course of treatment. Therefore, com­munication and availab ili ty of information regarding treatment, prog­nosis, and aftercare are significant aspects that need to be discussed and presented in the informed consent discussion. This is a prerequisite of all elective surgical procedures. Patients have a right to receive com­prehensive information. Hence the following guiding principle: Only the patient who is fully informed can make an informed decision. Both the treatment and the informed consent should be sufficiently and understandably documented.
2 Informed Consent in Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery
Medical liability litigation relating to aesthetic plastic surgery proce­dures is increasing. Approximately 16% of all medical malpractice cases are indirectly or directly associated with the informed consent itself. It is assumed that this percentage is significantly higher for plastic sur­gery; howev er, there are no statistics available with regard to this.
Therefore, the fewer reasons there are for a procedure to be carried out on purely medical grounds, the ‘more significant’ the aspect of informed consent and documentation becomes. The format and extent are country- and medical system-specific, and depend on the jurisdic­tion under which they fall. For this reason, regulation s are constantly being amended.
In Great Britain, O’Brien and his colleagues questioned 63 patients, who were undergoing elective plastic surgery procedures, in an open survey with regard to informed consent and what they would like to know prior to an operation. They found that patients particularly wanted information on the type and extent of the procedur e and its potential benefits.
