Aided by a wealth of color photos, it also provides step-by-step descriptions of the surgical techniques developed and modified to achieve the desired surface appearance, and illustrates how the novel dissection and redrape control methods reduce the healing time and enhance outcomes. Further, the book presents a series of case analyses documenting the benefits of the approach. Written in a "cookbook style" this superbly illustrated book enables plastic surgeons to quickly learn how to utilize the closed approach to rhinoplasty for optimal aesthetic benefit.

Brazilian 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.

The 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. It should be noted that the authors are not privy to any inside information about the exam. What is presented is material candidates that have successfully passed the exam feel is important to know. This book is not endorsed by American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons or the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Botulinumtoxin gilt zu Recht als das Synonym fur die Schoenheitsmedizin. Seit Jahren stehen Botox-Behandlungen noch vor Fillerinjektionen oder invasiven Eingriffen (Lidkorrekturen, Fettabsaugungen, Brustvergroesserungen) an der Spitze der am haufigsten durchgefuhrten Behandlungen und die Nachfrage nimmt weiterhin zu. Dies liegt nicht zuletzt daran, dass die Ergebnisse immer besser werden, da behandelnde AErzte immer erstklassiger ausgebildet sind und durch die mittlerweile jahrelange Anwendung auch einen groesseren Erfahrungshorizont im Hinblick auf schwierigere Falle aufweisen. Gleichsam sinkt die Angst der Patienten vor einer Behandlung mit dem sogenannten "Nervengift". Dieses Buch vermittelt Fachwissen aus Wissenschaft und 20 Jahren Erfahrung in der asthetischen Botox-Anwendung. Neben der detaillierten Darstellung von zugrundeliegender Anatomie, Injektionsschemata, Dosierung und Nebenwirkungsmanagement, finden sich auch viele Tipps und Tricks zu allen praxisrelevanten Aspekten der asthetischen Botox-Anwendung, wie rechtlichen, organisatorischen und wirtschaftlichen Fragen, oder auch Patientenfuhrung und -bindung.

There has been a recent explosion of public interest in less invasive facial rejuvenation products and treatments. At the forefront of this are the U.S. FDA Approvals of Botox and Xeomin injections. In addition to the broad array of cosmetic applications for botulinum toxin, a new range of functional treatments is similarly beginning to emerge. These treatments include creating a “chemical” tarsorrhaphy to promote corneal healing, reducing thyroid-associated eyelid retraction, and—most compelling—reducing the frequency and severity of muscle tension and migraine headaches. These new applications significantly expand the scope of botulinum toxin treatments for medical disorders that have traditionally included the treatment of strabismus as well as a number of disorders of spasticity.

Few books have been published before with details on preoperative planning, markings and performance of primary surgical techniques to correct the cleft lip and palate deformity. This information is commonly required by surgeons. Scientific papers, conferences, and video clips of these surgical procedures are limited in details about how to address this common disease. This book provides a comprehensive overview of surgery for the correction of primary cleft lip and palate, including planning, selecting the most suitable techniques, markings, performing operative techniques, and preoperative care. Unlike other literature on the topic, which focuses on surgical techniques, this operative atlas (with detailed illustrations) covers the entire spectrum of this congenital deformity: classification of cleft lip and palate, management protocols, unilateral cleft lip surgery, bilateral cleft lip surgery, cleft palate surgery, post operative care and case studies.
