Abstract

Surgical and educational challenges exist in relation to the teaching of facial reconstructive surgery due to the complexities of the facial landscape and training models available. This chapter will describe the development and implementation of alternative modes of teaching facial reconstructive techniques in a multi-disciplinary setting, pioneered by Surgical Art ( www.surgical-art.com ), through the use of a bespoke multimodal training model-the Surgical Art Face©.

Keywords: Facial anisotropy; Facial reconstruction; Facial sub-units; Facial topography; Plastic surgery; Surgical simulation; Surgical training.
