Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is a comprehensive and
practical guide to performing facial surgical procedures, and
contains a balance of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures that
mirrors typical European practice.

It has arisen as an initiative of the European Academy of Facial
Plastic Surgery (EAFPS), and in accordance with this status is a
comprehensive book that gives a complete update on the speciality as
it is practised in Europe. The contributors have many years of
clinical practice as well as research experience in facial plastic
and reconstructive surgery.

The book's practical 'how-to' style is amply supported with excellent
line illustrations and colour photographs, and serves as a
comprehensive reference for surgeons in clinical practice as well as
in training. Each chapter is structured within a uniform framework to
increase the accessibility of the text, and in this way improves the
book’s utility as a textbook for trainees.
