Methodology

Surgical Planning

A successful surgery begins long before the operating room. Systematic planning is the difference between improvisation and mastery.

"He who fails to plan, plans to fail."

Surgical planning in Modern Face follows a structured 6-step protocol. Each step has a specific purpose and contributes to the final result. Skipping steps doesn't accelerate — it increases risk.

Why Systematize?

  • Prevents errors of omission: What is systematic is not forgotten
  • Ensures consistency: Every patient receives the same care
  • Documents adequately: Legal and academic protection
  • Communicates clearly: Team and patient aligned
