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 SynopsisFree flap or free tissue transfer is defined as the vascular dissection and detachment of an isolated and specific region of the body (skin, fat, muscle, bone) and transfer of said tissue to another region of the body. This ability to transplant living tissue from one region of the body to another has greatly facilitated the reconstruction of complex defects, including after cancer surgery. Free tissue transfer has become commonplace in many centres around the world and the numerous advantages of this technique include stable wound coverage, improved aesthetic and functional outcomes, and minimal donor site morbidity (Medscape). This book is a guide to cancer reconstructive surgery with free flaps. Beginning with an overview of surgical techniques, preoperative considerations, anaesthesia and discussion on thromboprophylaxis (prevention of blood clot formation), the following chapters cover free flaps for reconstruction in various different parts of the body.
