It emphasizes that the core differences lie in the anatomical layers dissected, the retaining ligaments released, and how repositioned tissue is supported, rather than just the superficial labels. The guide details key decision criteria for selecting a surgeon, focusing on anatomical coverage, dissection plane logic, vector strategy, tension distribution, candidacy rigor, and recovery transparency.
