Tissue Glues in Cosmetic Surgery : Accompanying CD is MAC and PC compatible

Tissue Glues in Cosmetic Surgery provides cosmetic surgeons with
the comprehensive yet practical instruction they need to
skillfully use tissue glues in their practices. For the cosmetic
surgeon seeking to address patient requests for shorter scars
and reduced morbidity, tissue glues provide a welcome solution.

These new tissue glues offer surgeons and their patients decided
advantages in speed and convenience, recovery, comfort, and
cosmetic outcome. Furthermore, they are especially appropriate
for aesthetic surgery patients. They are particularly appealing
for minimally invasive or short scar procedures, where scar
length and morbidity are primary considerations.

Written by the experts, this in-depth volume evaluates the
different tissue adhesives available and provides the step-by-
step guidance needed for using them for different applications,
including brow lift, face lift, rhinoplasty, body contouring,
breast surgery, and burns and craniofacial applications.

Each chapter fully discusses indications for use, preparation of
material, timing, wound preparation, application, technical
nuances and problems and complications. These chapters are
filled with helpful tips and tricks to help enhance surgical
outcomes. Clinical results are illustrated with preoperative and
postoperative views as well as post-tissue sealant results. An
accompanying CD includes operative video clips demonstrating
glue application for various procedures.

The widening use of surgical adhesives makes a full
understanding of their capabilities and limitations essential to
the cosmetic surgeon. Tissue Glues in Cosmetic Surgery is the
only volume available today to assemble and illustrate the
critical information in concise, expertly written, and fully
illustrated chapter.
