Students will learn how to clinically assess and analyse nasal defects, ear deformities and features of physiological aging of the face, brow, neck, and peri-orbital region. In addition, students will be able to make a surgical plan, counsel and consent patients for facial surgical procedures and recognise and counsel unrealistic patients.ÌýÌýÌý
