FACIAL ULTRASOUND IN AESTHETIC MEDICINE 2024 Their expertise in the injectables segment is incorporated into this new chapter, which is developing and becoming a fundamental aspect of our practice. This book, “Facial Ultrasound in Aesthetic Medicine: Basic Principles and Clinical Practice”, embarks on a new chapter in plastic surgery and aesthetic dermatology, which is gradually being built: ultrasonography.

• I was really happy and honored when the Authors of this book on Ultrasounds in Aesthetic medicine asked me to prepare a preface to present it to the readers. Hugues Cartier, Peter Velthuis and Alessio Redaelli are good friends and I have known them for a long time, and their commitment to science and safety in our specialty.
• This preface is your gateway to a comprehensive guide that delves into the remarkable potential of ultrasound echography as a modern and reliable tool for facial and body injections. We will explore the principles and science behind this technology, dissect its applications, and showcase the expertise of pioneering practitioners who have harnessed its capabilities to craft the most natural and pleasing outcomes. With the increase in malpractice and legal issues, it is increasingly important for HCPs to find a stable solution to prevent complications.
• There are many safety measures and tools to reduce the risk, including better knowledge of anatomy, a slow injection technique, aspirating before injection, and the “intelligent needle”, with alarm. However, the most efficient and safe tool that prevents the risk, is ultrasonography guidance. In recent years, many congresses, training courses, articles, and books have pointed out the importance of ultrasound-guided injection training and have incorporated ultrasonography injection as a critical topic in their programs.
• It is my hope that this new book, after remarkable books like those by Ximena Worsman and Hee Jin Kim will inspire, educate, and guide all readers on this exciting journey into the captivating world of ultrasound echography guidance in our profession, both in daily activities, with more precision in our injections, and just like in an emergency context. The field of these applications in medicine and cosmetic surgery is just beginning.
• My vision is that each of our injections will have to be documented by ultrasound before, during and after. This increasingly rapid practice will likely be recommended or even required on a legal level, hence the importance of this book.
