Trade Review'One might think we do not need another book about how to inject botulinum toxin A and tissue fillers. However, this reference contains thorough, practical advice on how to start performing these procedures, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to rectify these mistakes should they occur. The author emphasizes the importance of properly obtaining patient consent and discussing the procedures and their attendant risks. He particularly does an excellent job of explaining how to recognize early signs of complications. There are many diagrams indicating his approach to performing filler injections in various areas on the face. These are clearly marked, with the accompanying text
explaining the rationale for the direction and order of the injections diagrammed.'
