    TLDR The document concludes that successful treatment of upper and midface trauma should focus on restoring both appearance and function, with attention to facial structure, skin, and hair repair.
    The document emphasizes the importance of both aesthetic and functional restoration in the management of upper and midface trauma. The primary goals are to reestablish the patient's pre-injury form and function, which are closely related in evaluating the success of an outcome. Key surgical considerations include proper positioning of occlusion, restoration of midfacial dimensions and orbital volume, and the relationship between the inner corners of the eyes. Additionally, the importance of soft tissue resuspension, lower eyelid laxity correction, scar care using topicals and lasers, and good skin care post-repair are highlighted to improve the patient's appearance. The document also mentions the need for precise hair restoration in cases of eyebrow or eyelash loss due to injury. It acknowledges that despite best efforts, sometimes results may not be optimal, and patients should be prepared for potential touch-up or revision surgeries and the management of any complications. The issue of Facial Plastic Surgery in which this preface appears includes contributions from experienced surgeons offering insights into improving functional and aesthetic outcomes in fracture repair, serving as a reference for treating this challenging patient population.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
