How important is symmetry in overall beauty?
Although Dr. Lam performs every procedure with the precision of symmetry, he believes that subtle asymmetry is natural and present in almost every person without detracting from overall attractiveness. In fact, it is impossible to make both sides of the body the same through plastic surgery. However, Dr. Lam believes that “harmony” or the proportion between various facial features, like the nose, eyes, cheeks, and chin is really what leads to overall beauty and attractiveness. Accordingly, Dr. Lam always strives to evaluate the entire face as a unit to see how each part of the face can be enhanced to make the overall impact of the face more attractive. Understanding facial balance and proportion requires a keen artistic eye, which Dr. Lam exercises in every case.
