Cosmetic maxillofacial surgical procedures are elective ones. Optimizing our patient's medical management will ultimately improve our surgical outcomes. This is usually accomplished by a detailed preoperative evaluation which includes a comprehensive history and physical examination. This chapter will focus on important aspects of the perioperative management of the cosmetic surgery patient. Potential complications will be reviewed. Management of these complications will also be discussed.
