Abstract

A graphic and written anatomic data sheet (ADS) for facial aesthetic surgery and body contour surgery is presented as a tool for: (1) analyzing surgical maneuvers and their effect on final outcome; (2) recording individual anatomic variations; (3) communicating data between office personnel and colleagues; (4) aiding in the treatment of the postsurgical patient; (5) use as a worksheet for the surgeon; and (6) standardizing, evaluating, and comparing surgical techniques. The ADS takes account of the common aesthetic facial and body contour procedures performed in plastic surgery. A supplemental rubber stamp for use on the office chart, with graphics identical to those of the ADS, identifies areas of treatment concern before and after surgery.
