Description

This compact and highly practical text is a user-friendly guide to basic cosmetic surgical procedures for the dermatologist who wants to expand his or her surgical repertoire. The major focus of the text is on procedures most likely to be done by non-experts or by cosmetic surgeons who wish to improve their skill. The book provides a very basic, very specific step-by-step description of each procedure covered, including not only technique but also issues such as patient information and consent, avoiding pitfalls, managing complications, and postoperative follow-up. Procedures covered include chemical peels, filler substances, hair restoration, sclerotherapy, ambulatory phlebectomy, liposuction, cosmetic laser surgery, and dermabrasion. Each technique is described by a nationally recognized expert who discusses the procedure as if he or she were standing next to the reader. Complementing the text are more than 700 illustrations, including 194 in full color
