Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 3rd Edition – Ira D. Papel

Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is a dynamic specialty, offering surgeons a constant stream of clinical challenges. At an ever-increasing rate, technology and surgical innovations have provided an expanding choice of treatment options, often of unknown efficacy. This new third edition of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery provides updated information on the wide variety of facial plastic surgery procedures and treatments. The contributing authors have updated most chapters, and created new ones, where needed, focused on both cosmetic and reconstructive problems. The book chapters continue to be constructed according to the successful formula of those in previous editions — they provide core information in the subject area, backed by appropriate basic science, clinical details, and references. Readers are then prepared to pursue more detailed research into clinical or surgical care.
New areas covered in this edition include anti-aging medicine, ambulatory surgery considerations, autologous fat augmentation, pediatric rhinoplasty, tissue engineering, and nonablative skin resurfacing techniques.
I would like to thank the contributing editors and authors for their continuous support of this project, whose first edition was published in 1992. As with past editions, all royalties generated by Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, third edition, will be donated to the Education and Research Foundation of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, so that education in facial plastic surgery can be supported in perpetuity.
