Abstract

Feature article arguing that aesthetic medicine is entering a Neo-Romanticism Age. The article contrasts the scientific rationalism and quantification of the modern aesthetic era with a renewed emphasis on authenticity, emotional expression, individuality, human connection, and patient-centered meaning. It frames this shift as a cultural reawakening in which patients want to feel human and authentic rather than optimized toward rigid ideals of beauty.
