Review
"In his book, " Buttocks Reshaping", Dr. Raul Gonzalez manages to address - in a very broad manner - his large
experience in the surgical contour of the buttocks, the thighs and the calves...
Pertinent anatomical studies are presented, together with the relevant aspects for surgical planning. The techniques
are well explained, and the book is richly illustrated with figures and clinical cases. Throughout this book, the
reader is guided by the experience of the author, especially with regards to the limitations and the precise
indications for each procedure. Dr. Gonzalez, who trained in my school, is to be commended for his work, and I am sure
that the literature of plastic surgery has acquired a considerable contribution, in this specific but fascinating
chapter." --Ivo Pitanguy M.D.
