Abstract
Associated with aesthetic facial procedures such a facelift, blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty, are three techniques used to enhance the results of surgery. They are chemical peel, dermabrasion, and collagen injection, each one an adjunct measure for hiding irregularities of skin surface texture. Frown lines, acne scars, posttraumatic scars, various soft tissue contour deformities resulting from congenital deformity, trauma, infection, or aging may all benefit from these techniques.
