Book SynopsisTerry Prone once thought plastic surgery was for the vain, the self-regarding and the rich. She thought herself the person least likely to submit to the plastic surgeon’s scalpel. But this was before a traumatic car crash in which the steering wheel caved in her cheekbones, broke her jaw and smashed her teeth. In the days and weeks that followed, she began to understand how radically her appearance had changed. She then embarked on a journey of physical – and emotional – reconstruction that gradually became an addiction. Liposuction. Tooth implants. An arm-lift. Two face-lifts and a brow-lift. Diamond eye surgery. Foot surgery. She found she could not stop. Mirror Mirror tells the dramatic story of Terry Prone’s experience of plastic surgery on both sides of the Atlantic and reveals the truth about each procedure: discomforts, costs, failures and (mostly) successes. Charged with her remarkable candour, it is an astonishing story of courage and personal reinvention – and a hilarious exploration of the wilder shores of plastic surgery.

Book SynopsisThis is the very first book to describe the superficial anatomic structure of the face and neck by means of detailed ultrasonography (US). This superbly illustrated book will help aesthetic physicians to familiarize themselves with the US anatomy of the face and neck and to understand the applications and benefits of US when performing minimally invasive aesthetic procedures in this region. A deep understanding of anatomy is imperative if such procedures are to be safe and effective. Bearing in mind the range of potential anatomic variations, US can offer vital assistance in identifying target structures of the face beneath the skin when carrying out treatments that would otherwise be performed “blind”. In this book, readers will find detailed guidance on the use of US in the context of botulinum toxin and filler injections, threading procedures, and other minimally invasive aesthetic approaches. This is done with the aid of more than 530 US images, including cadaveric dissections and illustrations of volunteers and patients. For novices, valuable information is also provided on the basics of US imaging. Table of Contents1. Basic principles of ultrasonographic imaging2. General US anatomy of the face and neck 3. US anatomy of the forehead and temple4. US anatomy of the periorbital region5. US anatomy of the midface and nose6. US anatomy of the perioral and masseter region7. US anatomy of the upper superficial cervical region8. US applications in botulinum toxin injection procedures9. US applications in filler injection procedures10. US applications in thread lifting procedures.

Book SynopsisEric Plemons explores the ways in which facial feminization surgery is changing the ways in which trans- women are not only perceived of as women, but in the ways it is altering the project of surgical sex reassignment and the understandings of what sex means.Trade Review"This is a well-written and thought-provoking contribution not only to transgender studies but also to our debate about how we necessarily and constantly refashion ourselves." -- Sander L. Gilman * Critical Inquiry *“An exceptionally well-written book, based on highly engaged fieldwork . . . and filled with elegant and innovative theoretical insights about the material (in)stability and social urgency of sex/gender.” -- Christine Labuski * American Anthropologist *“A wonderfully terse and insightful first book. Eric Plemons’s work counts as the best of trans studies.” -- Cressida J. Heyes * American Journal of Bioethics *“In The Look of a Woman, Eric Plemons gives us a very thoughtful, well-researched, and important statement about the role of facial feminization surgery in trans-medicine.” -- Juliana Hansen * Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery *“The Look of a Woman is a new and important examination of the world of trans medicine, particularly the question of gendered identity, facial physiognomy, and most importantly the face-to-face determination of sex. An excellent and enriching engagement.” -- Bernadette Wegenstein * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"In both style and content this book is eminently teachable: a great demonstration of how to build and hone an argument. It is an admirably slim volume, afforded its modest size by Plemons’ writerly technique. The prose is lucid and not unnecessarily adjectival. The more complex ideas benefit from a clarifying portrayal that will bring non-academic readers on side. . . . The book’s clarity lends it an effortless feel, which I suspect is actually an effect of labour at every scale: word, sentence, chapter, argument. This labour has certainly paid off: The Look of a Woman is a lovely addition to anthropology’s bookshelves." -- Courtney Addison * The Australian Journal of Anthropology *"This book brilliantly raises some fundamental and very broad questions about the link between medicine and social norms, sex and gender, the body and the self." -- Andrae Thomazo * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction 1 1.

Book SynopsisBest of the Best' solutions to challenging reconstructive surgery of the nose The nose, with its unique and individual topography, presents particular challenges for reconstructive and skin cancer surgeons. A number of approaches can be adopted, but how does the dermatologic surgeon choose the best for any particular defect? Reconstructive Conundrums in Dermatology: The Nose provides an atlas compendium of novel approaches to these challenges. Based on the Reconstructive Conundrum series published in the journal Dermatologic Surgery, a range of cases provide photographs of the defect before and immediately after reconstruction, and two long-term, follow-up images. The authors provide a detailed explanation for their choice of reconstruction. The Editors' commentaries allow residents and experienced surgeons alike to compare different reconstructive alternatives and to explore the thought processes behind them.

Book SynopsisMost women who elect to have cosmetic surgery want a natural outcomea discrete alteration of the body that appears unaltered. Under the Knife examines this theme in light of a cultural paradox. Whereas women are encouraged to improve their appearance, there is also a stigma associated with those who do so via surgery. Samantha Kwan and Jennifer Graves reveal how women negotiate their unnaturalbut hopefully (in their view) natural-lookingsurgically-altered bodies. Based on in-depth interviews with 46 women who underwent cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearance, the authors investigate motivations for surgery as well as women's thoughts about looking natural after the procedures. Under the Knife dissects the psychological and physical strategies these women use to manage the expectations, challenges, and disappointments of cosmetic surgery while also addressing issues of agency and empowerment. It shows how different cultural intersections can produce varied goals and values around bTrade Review“Under the Knife is a timely, accessible, and unique intersectional analysis of cosmetic surgeries. Kwan and Graves unravel the paradox that surrounds people’s desire to undergo cosmetic surgery in a society that overwhelmingly continues to stigmatize the practice. Kwan and Graves’ theorization of the ‘natural fake’ will become a key concept that sociocultural scholars who study bodies and embodiment will draw on for years to come. Under the Knife is a very strong and impressive book.”—Georgiann Davis, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and author of Contesting Intersex: The Dubious Diagnosis“Under the Knife draws on a rich set of interviews to shed new light on the expectations for femininity that place women in a double bindbetween trying to enhance their appearance by having cosmetic surgery and facing the stigmatization of doing so. Kwan and Graves present a clear, interesting, and novel argument regarding consumers’ claims that their surgeries were not life changing; these women asserted that they have maintained ‘an authentic self.’ This book contributes to the study of boundary work and the sociology of culture and will resonate with a broad readership.”—Maxine Leeds Craig, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Davis, and author of Sorry I Don't Dance: Why Men Refuse to Move

Book SynopsisFilled with take-away messages and valuable insights, Aesthetic Breast Surgery by Elizabeth Hall-Findlay, MD, is a masterful text that you will refer to time and again. It presents a personal and time-proven approach to all forms of aesthetic breast surgery. This book is a distillation of the author's extensive experience and provides her unique perspective on problem-solving and patient analysis. Dr. Hall-Findlay has spent years measuring and studying patient results to help other surgeons use "science" to improve the "art" of aesthetic breast surgery. She has developed an approach to analysis and surgery which is simple and consistent-with results that can be achieved by all surgeons. Prepare Yourself for a Master Class in Aesthetic Breast Surgery With personal insights and wisdom pervading every page, this book provides the reader with a master class in aesthetic breast surgery by one of the world's leading experts. Dr. Hall-Findlay is widely known for her popularization of the medial pedicle approach to vertical breast reduction and this is covered in depth. However, her accomplishments in breast surgery extend far beyond this technique. Her ongoing innovations continue to advance the field. In this semi-atlas work, she brings her considerable expertise to bear on the range of aesthetic breast surgery procedures as she describes her individual approach to patient evaluation, operative planning, clinical decision-making, and operative technique. Comprehensive Coverage Divided into nine comprehensive chapters, the book begins with key chapters on analysis, concepts, applied anatomy, and patient selection that lay the foundation for the technical descriptions that follow. These introductory chapters are not to be missed. They offer a unique approach to patient assessment and alert the reader to critical anatomic landmarks that strongly influence the success of operative procedures. Concepts such as the breast footprint (high-breasted and low-breasted patients) are examined to help readers understand the realistic possibilities for what can and cannot be achieved when planning breast surgery. The emphasis is on the decision-making process involved in choosing the right approach for each patient and then planning the procedure with these landmarks in mind. The next seven chapters are devoted to operative technique. A consistent format is used in each chapter with detailed information on patient evaluation, planning, technique, revisions, complications, and outcomes. These pages are liberally illustrated with step-by-step descriptions depicting breast augmentation, vertical breast reduction with the medial pedicle, liposuction-only breast reduction, mastopexy, mastopexy/augmentation, and surgery for breast asymmetries. Information on avoidance and treatment of problems and complications is also highlighted throughout the book. Of particular note is the comprehensive information on nipple necrosis in the reduction chapter; this provides essential information to help surgeons who are faced with decreased blood supply to the nipple. Beautifully Illustrated Beautiful and dramatic color illustrations and numerous preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative images help the reader visualize the steps of each procedure and appreciate the excellent long-term results that can be achieved. Unique Features Throughout the technique chapters, artwork icons are paired with photographic images to better elucidate the surgical technique being described. Key points are highlighted, and a summary box outlining central issues concludes each chapter. Two DVDs contain operative video to complement the text.Table of ContentsContents PART I Concepts and Principles 1 Breast Analysis and Clinical Concepts 2 Applied Anatomy: Key Concepts for Modern Breast Surgery 3 Surgical Principles 4 Patient Selection, Education, and Surgical Decision Making PART II Technique 5 Breast Augmentation 6 Vertical Breast Reduction 7 Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction 8 Breast Re-reduction 9 Mastopexy 10 Mastopexy-Augmentation 11 Nipple Necrosis 12 Breast Asymmetry Index Video Contents Breast Augmentation Video A-1: Preoperative markings for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-2: Intraoperative review of markings for subglandular breastaugmentation Video A-3: Infiltration for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-4: Pocket dissection for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-5: Implant insertion for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-6: Incision closure for subglandular breast augmentation Video A-7: Wrap-up for subglandular breast augmentation Video B-1: Preoperative markings for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-2: Intraoperative review of markings for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-3: Infiltration for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-4: Pocket dissection for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-5: Implant insertion for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-6: Incision closure for subpectoral breast augmentation Video B-7: Wrap-up for subpectoral breast augmentation Vertical Breast Reduction Preoperative markings Intraoperative review of markings Infiltration Pedicle creation Parenchymal resection Pillar closure Closure of dermis Liposuction for contouring Skin closure Wrap-up Breast Re-reduction Video A: Re-reduction of previous vertical breast reduction Video B: Re-reduction of previous inverted-T breast reduction Mastopexy Preoperative markings Intraoperative review of markings Infiltration Deepithelialization Creation of inferior wedge Elevation of pectoralis strip Closure of pillars Closure of dermis Skin closure Wrap-up Mastopexy-Augmentation Preoperative markings Intraoperative review of markings Infiltration Pedicle creation Inferior wedge excision Subpectoral pocket dissection Pillar closure Skin closure Wrap-up

Book SynopsisThe difference in the shapes of facial structures and their relationship to one another determines the unique and distinct appearance of each individual. This anatomic information is critical to diagnosing changes in facial topography that occur with age and in determining the best approach for augmenting and rejuvenating the aging face. Facial Topography: Clinical Anatomy of the Face provides a critical roadmap for navigating the underlying anatomy of the face. It is the first work of its type that uses cadaver dissections paired with detailed medical illustrations to depict the soft tissue surface landmarks of the face-shapes, contours, creases, and lines. This beautifully illustrated semi-atlas is packed with clinical information to help improve surgical outcomes. The book places particular emphasis on describing surface landmarks to help predict the location of deeper structures. This knowledge increases the safety of any facial procedure, because the surgeon knows the course and location of blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. The book includes advice on determining the best placement of injectables to achieve a predictable and aesthetic result and to avoid complications, and also helps surgeons understand the ideal placement of fillers for facial augmentation. In addition, the basic dissections provide essential information for all residents and practitioners operating in the face. Anatomic tenets are described that can be applied to any anatomic region and key clinical points are highlighted throughout. A supplemental DVD includes video demonstrations of dissections and other clinical applications in each anatomic area of the face.Table of Contents1 Terminology of Facial Topography 2 The Central Forehead 3 The Cheek 4 The Eyelids 5 The Nose 6 The Temporal Fossa 7 The Periauricular Region 8 The Lips and Chin

Book SynopsisThe thorax has a fundamental role in the aesthetic of the male body: congenital or acquired alterations are experienced as extremely frustrating clinical situations. Most breast surgery texts briefly mention gynecomastia, but no text comprehensively addresses the male breast and thorax, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and surgery in transgender patients. This gap is now thoroughly filled by Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of the Male Breast: after introducing principles of anatomy and aesthetics for the male thorax, the first part focusses on the main congenital malformations and their treatment; the main benign acquired pathologies and their treatment (including an ample section dedicated to gynecomastia), the carcinoma of the male breast, with reference to familiar forms; the treatment of carcinoma and reconstruction of the thorax. The book closes with a chapter dedicated to breast surgery in transgender patients. While female breast surgery is increasingly practiced in specific Breast Units and highly specialized centers, male breast issues are treated in general and plastic surgeries units. This handy volume is a sound reference for the most complex clinical cases, and the latest reconstruction treatments for the male thorax and will be useful for general and thoracic surgeons, plastic surgeons and senologists.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsPart 1 Aesthetic Aspects of the Male Chest.- 1 Arts and Aesthetics of Male Chest.- Part 2 Anatomy of the Male Chest.- 2 Preoperative considerations on the thorax: Anatomy and Surgical Landmarks.- Part 3 Male Chest Congenital Pathologies.- 3 Poland syndrome.- 4 Pectus excavatum.- Pectus carenatum.- Part 4 Benign Pathologies of Male Breast.- 6 Gynecomastia.- 7 Gynecomastia after massive weight loss: reshaping with intercostal perforator flaps.- 8 Male Tuberous Breast.- Part 5 Oncologic Pathologies of Male Breast.- 9 Skin Tumors of the Male Chest.- 10 Male Breast Cancer: Oncology.- 11 Male Breast Cancer: Oncologic Surgery.- 12 Male Breast Cancer: Reconstructive Surgery.- Part 6 Anterior Chest Wall Reconstruction.- 13 Chest Fistula repair.- 14 Reconstruction with Pedicled Flaps.- 15 Reconstruction with Free Flaps.- Part 7 Feminization of the Male Chest.- 16 Augmentation mammoplasty.- Part 8 Masculinization of the Female chest.- 17 Masculinization of the Female chest.

Book SynopsisThe oral board exam for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) can be intimidating to many surgeons due to the broad range of information one must know for the exam. However, while the examination guidelines provide a general outline of topics that may be covered, there is no true direction on how to prepare for it. Traditionally, candidates do so by using what are considered “underground” databanks, previous test questions, and power point presentations that run the gamut of commonly covered material. Until now, there have been no current comprehensive oral board review books available for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery boards. Oral Board Review for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery fills that gap as the go-to resource for those attempting to successfully challenge the oral boards and for residents to polish up on their training. Edited and authored by top physicians in the field, this book is concise and easy to read, yet thorough with high yield information. An outline of the pertinent material is reviewed, and a patient work up is presented. Important questions to ask, signs to look for, and labs/images to order are included. It also includes tables and keywords that are typically mentioned on the exam and also offers explanations to some key points. Next are cases, which are presented in a question and answer format. As the case progresses, more complicated scenarios requiring management are presented. Lastly, complications are covered, which is the final section of each board scenario. Included are basic topics the surgeon needs to know, followed by topics that are nice to know, and numerous highly debated/complex questions that are discussed among candidates preparing for the exam.

Book SynopsisBrazilian Butt Lift has been described by many, but there is no definitive resource or book that details the procedure as performed by Brazilian Plastic Surgeons. The editors conducted a recent survey among the members of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgeons (SBCP) and have seen that there are many differences in approach, style, technique, and even materials used between what is being done around the world and what is being done in Brazil. While addressing recent media attention and scares, this book features contributions from world renowned Brazilian and international Plastic Surgeons addressing the high morbidity and mortality recently reported and establish tried and true safety protocols. To increase the scope of the book, differing views of techniques and methods are also included, making this a truly global book covering the specific gluteal region.Gluteal Fat Augmentation: Best Practices in Brazilian Butt Lift will open with the history of the procedure, go through the anatomy and the ethnic aspects of the aesthetics of the gluteal region. The book features special chapters on gluteal fat augmentation and a wide variety of techniques to improve the gluteal contour. A wealth of images accompany the text to fully illustrate the different approaches and techniques of gluteal fat augmentation, reshaping, and contouring including the use of fillers, implants, lift, and correction of depressions and deformities of the region. Written for practicing plastic surgeons, this book is poised to become the go-to reference for cosmetic and reconstructive concerns surrounding the gluteal region.Table of ContentsIntroductionPart I: Basics of Gluteal Fat GraftingChapter 1History of Gluteal Fat GraftingJose Abel de la Peña Salcedo and Guillermo J.

Book SynopsisDespite meticulous attention to details and expert technique, complications resulting from rhinologic procedures can occur during one's professional career. This book discusses real-life complications and why these unfortunate events occur, as well as how best to manage the consequent issues. The text also provides thoughtful strategies to prevent such situations going forward. The book is organized as a series of case-based chapters, each illustrating a complication involving the orbit, the skull base, unexpected bleeding, poor healing, or those relating to intraoperative decision making, and how each was managed by the authors. Each chapter begins with bullet points highlighting key clinical pearls illustrated by that particular case. Written by leaders in the field with decades of experience in sino-nasal procedures, the analysis complements expert opinions with evidence-based published literature and shares experiences related to the most current techniques, devices, and instrumentation. Every otolaryngologist practicing rhinologic procedures will appreciate the candid nature of the discussion and will find enrichment in this shared wisdom. Lessons Learned from Rhinologic Procedure Complications: A Case-Based Review serves practitioners of general otolaryngology as well as resident trainees in this field, explaining how best to identify, diagnose, and resolve a complication during rhinology procedures.Table of ContentsSection I: The Orbit.- Simple Orbitotomy.- Orbital Hematoma: Acute.- Orbital Hematoma: Delayed.- Extraoccular Muscle Injury.- Silent Sinus Syndrome.- Section II: The Skull Base.- CSF Leak in the Ethmoid.- CSF Leak in the Sphenoid/Stella- CSF Lean in an Unusual Location.- Pneumocephalus.- Intracranial Injury.- Section III: Surgical Bleeding: Generalized Bleeding.- Sphenopalatine Artery.- Anterior Ethmoid Artery.- Carotid Artery Injury.- The Anticoagulated Patient.- Section IV: Surgical Healing.- Synechiae.- Ostial Stenosis.- Middle Turbinate Lateralization.- Intraoperative Decision Making.- I should Have Used Packing/Stent.- I Shouldn't have Put that In.- I Could Have Done Better with Navigation.- I Shouldn't Have Relied on Navigation.
