The November/December 2009 issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals, celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the journal’s publication and features a special series of articles on the art and science of the speciality.

The field is a dynamic one, notes journal editor Wayne F. Larrabee Jr., M.D., Seattle, in an introductory editorial. ‘On the research frontier, advances in wound healing, laser technology, biomaterials and other areas will transform facial plastic surgery in ways we can only imagine,’ he writes. ‘Surgical techniques will advance in an exciting – but more predictable – manner and result in better, safer outcomes for our patients. The articles in this issue speak strongly about the present and future of both facial plastic surgery and the Archives.’
