This second edition of the Manual of Aesthetic Surgery, in a single-volume format, has been extensively revised to include a variety of new and interesting techniques. The result is a comprehensive book that clearly describes and depicts procedures currently used in aesthetic plastic surgery, with the aid of unsurpassed instructive drawings and high-quality pre- and postoperative photographs.

Adjuvant treatments have been brought up to date to encompass the most recent developments. Great importance is attached to the fact that no alloplastic materials are used, but only biological implants, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid, and autologous fat. All of the important aspects of chemical and laser peeling are presented, with guidance on what is useful and what is not. The section on cosmetic facial surgery includes an excellent new simple method of mini lift (M-Lift) that can be performed under local anesthesia in patients aged 40 and over. Similarly, the section on abdominoplasty presents a new mini abdomen procedure, an elegant and safe method that avoids repositioning of the navel and is ideal following pregnancies and in patients who are only moderately overweight or have slightly slack abdominal skin. Other novel techniques include a so-called de-epithelializing method that permits optimal anatomical positioning of the gluteal folds during a buttock lift and liposuction using a sophisticated Micro-Air system that avoids dimples and hematoma, eases convalescence, and is performed under local anesthesia.

This interdisciplinary handbook will prove invaluable to both medical students and more experienced practitioners. It identifies the most appropriate technique for each indication, highlights tips and tricks, identifies pitfalls, and explains complication management. The accompanying DVD, including additional new clips, will further assist the reader in mastering each technique.

This book covers all aspects of autologous fat transfer including the history of fat transfer, the history of autologous fat survival, a variety of aesthetic and plastic procedures of the face and body, noncosmetic applications of fat transfer, preoperative care, complications, and medical-legal aspects. The contributors are international experts in the field of autologous fat transfer.

A star writer for the" New York Times "Styles section captures the follies, frauds, and fanaticism that fuel the American pursuit of youth and beauty in a wickedly revealing excursion into the burgeoning business of cosmetic enhancement.
Americans are aging faster and getting fatter than any other population on the planet. At the same time, our popular notions of perfect beauty have become so strict it seems even Barbie wouldn't have a chance of making it into the local beauty pageant.
Aging may be a natural fact of life, but for a growing number of Americans its hallmarks--wrinkles, love handles, jiggling flesh--are seen as obstacles to be conquered on the path to lasting, flawless beauty. In "Beauty Junkies" Alex Kuczynski, whose sly wit and fearless reporting in the" Times "has won her fans across the country, delivers a fresh and irresistible look at America's increasingly desperate pursuit of ultimate beauty by any means necessary.
From a group of high-maintenance New York City women who devote themselves to preserving their looks twenty-four hours a day, to a "surgery safari" in South Africa complete with "after" photographs of magically rejuvenated patients posing with wild animals, to a podiatrist's office in Manhattan where a "foot face-lift" provides women with the right fit for their $700 Jimmy Choos, Kuczynski portrays the all-American quest for self-transformation in all its extremes. In New York, lawyers become Botox junkies in an effort to remain poker-faced. In Los Angeles, women of an uncertain age nip and tuck their most private areas, so that every inch of their bodies is as taut as their lifted faces. Across the country, young women graduating from high school receive gifts of breast implants - from their parents.
As medicine and technology stretch the boundaries of biology, Kuczynski asks whether cosmetic surgery might even be part of human evolution, a kind of cosmetic survival of the fittest - or firmest? With incomparable portraits of obsessive patients and the equally obsessed doctors who cater to their dreams, "Beauty Junkies" examines the hype, the hope, and the questionable ethics surrounding the advent of each new miraculous technique. Lively and entertaining, thought-provoking and disturbing, "Beauty Junkies" is destined to be one of the most talked-about books of the season.

Through the discourse of technological embodiment, scientific progress in medicine and technology have advanced to the point that the human body is no longer thought of as a fixed form void of fluidity and refashioning. Surgical body alterations, specifically the hymenoplasty procedure, are a means by which some women (re)instate the appearance of 'virginity.' Within a cultural framework of dominant and subservient groups, this phenomenon is constructed as a controversial practice that uses cosmetic surgery in order to circumvent potential 'honor-killings.' By understanding the unique interrelationships of doctors, patients, and publics, ensuing findings that emerge from this examination show that the hymenoplasty procedure is a discursive rhetorical function with far-reaching implications that are both empowering and disempowering for the patients who are having it done. This book is addressed to professionals within the medical community as well as rhetorical communication scholars and anthropologists who have special interests in the ethics and implications of cutting-edge and controversial medical practices.
