Facial Plastic Surgery: The Essential Guide

This is a book that condenses the large field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery into a single, readable book that covers the critical information needed by all students, residents and fellows. The recently graduated physician will also find this reference invaluable in terms of grasping a quick overview of some of the common problems encountered in a young practice. The contributors are six leading facial plastic surgeons from across the country, each with over ten years of clinical experience in their specific topic. This book defers from many of the major text books currently in the market in that it is a concise book that focuses more on a fundamental core of information rather than a surgical atlas.
