The authors of The Art and Craft of Facial Rejuvenation, all highly respected surgeons and teachers in the field, have presented those essential techniques and procedures that constitute the heart of the specialty. Their descriptions enable the experienced surgeon to accurately reproduce each technique, and they answer the student's key question: How do you really do it? The backbone of this book is the detailed intraoperative photography and drawings illustrating each chapter. These images depict all important maneuvers and cover every important step of the operation for the best possible reproducibility of the surgery described. Only procedures that have been proven in the authors' hands to reliably generate excellent results over many years were selected, from facelift to blepharoplasty to skin resurfacing, resulting in a book that will provide a solid foundation for residents, fellows, and practicing surgeons with an interest in facial rejuvenation surgery. Key Selling Features: William E. Walsh, who has contributed illustrations to augment the photographs, is himself a talented facial plastic surgeon. The illustrations communicate his deep understanding of the anatomy and techniques. Sliding genioplasty and oriental blepharoplasty chapters were written by invited contributors Edward W. Chang and Samuel M. Lam. Exact details, such as the precise way the instrument is maneuvered, the exact suture needle required, the best strategy to avoid imperfections, are provided to enable the reader to reproduce the described surgical techniques in every detail.
The surprising history of cosmetic surgery—and America's quest for physical perfection—from the turn of the century to the present. Face lifts, nose jobs, breast implants, liposuction, collagen injections—the body at the end of the twentieth century has become endlessly mutable, and surgical alteration has become an accepted part of American culture. In Venus Envy, Elizabeth Haiken traces the quest for physical perfection through surgery from the turn of the century to the present. Drawing on a wide array of sources—personal accounts, medical records, popular magazines, medical journals, and beauty guides—Haiken reveals how our culture came to see cosmetic surgery as a panacea for both individual and social problems.
Benefit from the experience and expertise of a skilled face-lift surgeon, Dr. Fritz E. Barton, in this outstanding book on facial rejuvenation. Written in a personal style that engages the reader, Dr. Barton shares his personal philosophy that a more extensive face lift is worth the effort if it delivers a highly consistent, long-lasting, and natural result. For him, that operation is the High-SMAS. Step-By-Step Descriptions This beautiful, four-color semi-atlas describes and illustrates every step leading to mastery of the High-SMAS face-lift procedure with tips and tricks scattered throughout. A detailed analysis of variations in different faces is provided, along with methods for approaching them surgically to help the surgeon individualize treatment. Comprehensive Coverage The book is divided into two parts. The first part, Basic Considerations, contains a wealth of information about topics ranging from office set-up and patient consultation to anatomy and anesthesia. The introductory chapter on the office contains valuable insights and suggestions to assist surgeons in dealing with issues of office planning, staffing, and effective office management. The second part, Procedures, includes step-by-step descriptions of operations for the forehead, eyes, face, and neck. To complement these technique chapters, the book also includes information on perioperative care and complications. Two extensive chapters on nonsurgical cosmetic treatments describe the various noninvasive treatments, such as lasers, botox and fillers, and various topical skin care options and how these can be combined with surgical rejuvenation to complete and enhance the overall result.

This book will help you take a badly wounded patient to the operating room, organize yourself and your team, do battle with some vicious injuries and come out with the best possible result. It is a practical guide to operative trauma surgery for residents and registrars, for general surgeons with an interest in trauma, and for isolated surgeons operating on wounded patients in military, rural or humanitarian settings. A surgical atlas may show you what to do with your hands but not how to think, plan and improvise. Here you will find practical advice on how to use your head as well as your hands when operating on a massively bleeding trauma patient. The first part of this book presents some general principles of trauma surgery. The second part is about trauma surgery as a contact sport. Here we show you how to deal with specific injuries to the abdomen, chest, neck and peripheral vessels. The single most important lesson we hope you will derive from this book is to always keep it simple because, in trauma surgery, the simple stuff works.
The increasing multicultural population in the US and the world is reflected in the patient population that most Facial Plastic Surgeons are seeing in their practice environments. Facial plastic surgery procedures and aesthetic goals had been based predominantly on European Caucasian models of anatomy and cultural influences/ Currently, a wide variety of racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds are included in most facial plastic surgery practice experiences. A recognition and sensitivity to those differences and influences should be part of a modern facial plastic surgeon’s skill set. With an understanding of the tremendous clinical relevance of multicultural aesthetics, this issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics addresses Anatomy, Aesthetic goals, Patient evaluation, and Surgical techniques according to various ethnic, racial, and cultural needs. Some of the topics presented are Considerations in non-Caucasian facelift procedures; Scar variations by skin type; Laser and face peel procedures in non-Caucasians; Rhinoplasty in the Mestizo nose; Rhinoplasty in the African-American nose; Rhinoplasty in the Asian nose; Facial aesthetic surgical goals in patients of different cultures; and Concepts of beauty in a multicultural world.
