Main description:

In the past 20 years, the teaching and practice of dermatologic surgery has changed worldwide. In particular, plastic and reconstructive surgery is now practised by dermatologists and is also taught on post-graduate courses. This book provides an overview of the latest techniques and practices in dermatologic surgery, using both invasive and non-invasive procedures. There are 32 chapters in all, each written in a didactic, step-by-step manner, and containing full colour figures or photographs. A CD-ROM is also included, showing the application of Botulinum in cosmetic surgery. "Dermatologic Surgery Made Easy" will prove to be an excellent easy reference tool both for students of dermatology and for practitioners in dermatology, plastic and cosmetic surgery.
