Precision and symmetry in aesthetic plastic surgery "What Immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry" (William Blake).

Attaining symmetry is indispensable for a successful aesthetic outcome of plastic surgical procedures. In this paper we propose a simple technique for accurate placement of markings during surgery. This technique is simple, quick and does not require any special instruments. The method is easily reproducible and can be used intraoperatively to position the symmetrical points accurately.
