Technology vs Technique
Medicine is often seduced by new technologies. Shiny equipment, sophisticated names, promises of revolutionary results. But in facial surgery, uncomfortable truth is: surgeon technique matters more than equipment. This doesn’t mean technology is useless. It means we must critically evaluate each tool: does it really improve results or just improve marketing?
“I prefer experienced surgeon with basic instruments to novice with world’s most expensive equipment. Hand matters more than tool.”
- — Dr. Robério Brandão

Modern Face Approach
Modern Face philosophy consciously dispenses expensive equipment like endoscopes. Not due to resistance to technology, but for practical reason: they’re not necessary for excellent results.
Why Direct Vision?
Natural 3D vision: Your eyes see in three dimensions. Endoscope is two-dimensional.
Tactile feedback: You feel tissues, structures, anatomical variations.
Accessibility: No need for $100,000+ equipment. Technique accessible to more surgeons.
Independence: Doesn’t depend on technology that may fail or become obsolete.
What Really Matters
In the end, what determines facial surgery result is:
1 Anatomical knowledge — deeply understand where structures are
2 Technical experience — have done many times, in many patients
3 Clinical judgment — know what to do for each specific patient
4 Aesthetic sense — understand what’s beautiful and natural
No equipment replaces these elements. Technology can help, but never compensates fundamental deficiencies.
