Main description:

Surgery involving the face is perhaps the greatest challenge for plastic surgeons and dermatologists because the organs involved present very distinct difficulties, and aesthetic considerations rank highly with the patient. This atlas covers all the excisional and reconstructive operations routinely undertaken, arranged by location.

Atlas of Flaps of the Face follows up each step of the operation with color photographs and accompanying text, with a focus on how to solve problems as they arise. The design of flaps is both a science and an art, and this illustrated masterclass from one highly experienced surgeon will be of immense interest to all undertaking facial reconstruction.

Key features include:

Detailed description of the stages of each operation
Comprehensive coverage of all areas of the face
Appeal to dermatologists, dermatologic surgeons, and plastic surgeons
