Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Facial Plastic Surgery is a definitive 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 recently founded European Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (EAFPARS), and in accordance with this status is a comprehensive book that gives a complete update on the specialty 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 over 800 line illustrations and color photographs, and serves as a comprehensive, affordable 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. In addressing both aesthetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery procedures, Vuyk & Lohuis's text fills the gap in a market largely populated by the many American plastic surgery books that restrictively focus on aesthetic surgery alone.
