Abstract

As society evolves, thoughts, self-criticism, ease in society, the demand for tax standards, also evolve. The world currently demands a lot about appearance. The image arrives before the person himself. The human brain is capable of analyzing a being just by observing it, without even knowing it. All information contained in this document has been thoroughly reviewed in articles and books to obtain an accurate analysis.

The technique that was used in this case, there is not much difficulty in carrying it out, and the procedure does not require a lot of time, just post-operative care that needs attention.
