The Second Edition of this successful guide to cosmetic
blepharoplasty describes modifications of techniques covered in
the previous edition and new techniques and technologies such as
radiosurgery, laser instrumentation, chemical peels, laser
resurfacing, and wrinkle erasure. Of special note are this
edition's detailed descriptions of "total rejuvenation systems,"
which prepare the patient for surgery so that wound healing is
accelerated. More than 200 photographs and drawings--171 in full
color--show preoperative conditions, surgical techniques, and
results.
Drs. Bosniak and Zilkha give precise, methodical directions for
preoperative examination, patient selection, and choice of
surgical procedures and provide step-by-step instructions on all
surgical techniques. Of crucial importance to every surgeon are
the authors' comprehensive guidelines for preventing, detecting,
and managing complications. The book thoroughly explains the use
of adjunctive dermatologic techniques to improve cosmetic
results. The authors also offer advice on what to tell the
patient about surgery, healing, recovery, scarring, and
complications.
