Neuroendovascular and neurointerventional therapy is a specialty
where disseminating personal knowledge and expert opinion is
extremely important, owing to the lack of large-scale clinical
trials. The management of complications that occur during or
immediately after therapeutic interventions is particularly
challenging because these can significantly affect patient
outcomes. This book presents how various complication scenarios are
handled by well-qualified authorities in the field of
neurointervention from three disciplines: neurology, neurosurgery,
and neuroradiology. Contributors describe their management of these
complications, focusing on the common principles that all the
specialists agree on, and give tips and tricks for 'bailout'
procedures to help get the practitioner out of trouble. The book is
well illustrated and covers the full range of neuroendovascular and
neurointerventional procedures. The book will appeal to
neurointerventionists, neuroradiologists, stroke physicians,
neurosurgeons and vascular surgeons for its practical approach to
managing these commonly encountered problems.

Your purchase of this book is the first step in having a confident
and clear understanding of the cosmetic surgery you may be
considering. The questions, expectations and recommendations
contained in this book will be vital to your outcome. This book
will give insight into the realities of cosmetic surgery, reasons
you may or may not choose to have surgery at all and secrets for a
successful recovery. The decision to have cosmetic surgery is a
serious one and should not be made hastily. Review this book a
number of times. Highlight sections or dog-ear pages and take this
along to your consultation so you can remember all the questions
you want to ask your surgeon. Remember, the more information you
have, the more prepared both you and your surgeon will be prior to
surgery. Every year, half a million people who are interested in
improving the appearance of their noses seek consultation with
facial plastic surgeons. Some are unhappy with the noses they were
born with, and some with the way aging has changed their nose. For
others, an injury may have distorted the nose, or the goal may be
improved breathing. But one fact is clear: Nothing has a greater
impact on how a person looks than the size and shape of the nose.
Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face,
even a slight alteration can greatly improve one's appearance. The
definition of rhinoplasty is, literally, reshaping the nose. The
etymology of the English word of rhinoplasty is derived from the
greek prefix rhino meaning nose, and plasty defined as a surgical
procedure for the repair or restoration of a body part. If you have
wondered how nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, could improve your
looks, self-confidence, or health, you need to know how rhinoplasty
is performed and what you can expect. No book can allay all your
concerns, but this one can provide answers for many of the
questions you may have. Successful facial plastic surgery is a
result of good rapport between patient and surgeon. Trust, based on
realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise, develops in
the consulting stages before surgery. Your surgeon can answer, and
should be willing to, specific questions about your unique needs.

As a plastic surgeon, I have spent countless hours speaking to
women about the various pros and cons of cosmetic breast surgery,
the different options available and the right procedure to obtain
the results desired. Just as every patient and every breast is
different from the next, the proper procedure will likely be
different as well. It has, for many years, been my pleasure to
experience the look of joy on a woman's face when the right
procedure and the right implant come together to create the perfect
look for her. While I can't condense all of the experience and
knowledge I have culled over the years into a book of this size,
what I do hope is that many of the questions you have about your
upcoming cosmetic breast surgery will be answered in a way that you
find valuable.
This is an inspiring book which contains a compilation of women's
stories who have triumphed though a diagnosis of breast cancer and
who have had breast reconstruction. Their beautiful results are
depicted in photos taken by Scott Walz. The book was written to
raise awareness of the importance of breast reconstruction in
breast cancer patients. The "Pearls" section describes how and why
different methods of breast reconstruction are used to reconstruct
an aesthetically pleasing breast with minimal downtime.
If your practice isn't as busy as it should be, if your phone isn't
ringing enough, or not at all, if you're losing too much business
to your competitors, if you get too many tire-kickers in your
office, if you don't enjoy selling, or if you simply want more,
then it will pay to read this book. Nick Dumitru has been helping
practices surpass their competition for well over a decade. And his
advice starts with one simple concept. Growing a practice is
formulaic. It's simple and works every time -- provided you have a
proven formula. This book is about that proven practice growth
formula.
Being in the field of medicine and plastic surgery, I have realised
just having knowledge and skills are not enough to be a successful
plastic surgeon; you need to be a general surgeon, a doctor, and
most importantly, a compassionate human being to be successful. You
also need to be a good administrator, leader, businessman, and
politician. You need to be a good teacher to continue the legacy.
This is what I am striving to accomplish. My wish is that I will be
able to follow my profession with dignity, sincerity, ethically and
legally, and to teach the youngsters to do the same. This book is
about a great discipline that is called plastic surgery. It is an
intensely personal subject that causes a great deal of debate,
often very emotional. More than any other branch of medicine, it is
also surrounded by a dense, almost impenetrable fog of rumor,
myths, and misconceptions. This book will educate you to understand
what goes behind the scene. Not only that, but everything you need
to know about the plastic and cosmetic surgery from choosing the
right surgeon to avoiding disasters and getting the treatment you
really need is here in the book.

The increasing multicultural population in the US and the world is
reflected in the patient population that most Facial Plastic
Surgeons are seeing in their practice environments. Facial plastic
surgery procedures and aesthetic goals had been based predominantly
on European Caucasian models of anatomy and cultural influences/
Currently, a wide variety of racial, ethnic and cultural
backgrounds are included in most facial plastic surgery practice
experiences. A recognition and sensitivity to those differences and
influences should be part of a modern facial plastic surgeon's
skill set. With an understanding of the tremendous clinical
relevance of multicultural aesthetics, this issue of Facial Plastic
Surgery Clinics addresses Anatomy, Aesthetic goals, Patient
evaluation, and Surgical techniques according to various ethnic,
racial, and cultural needs. Some of the topics presented are
Considerations in non-Caucasian facelift procedures; Scar
variations by skin type; Laser and face peel procedures in
non-Caucasians; Rhinoplasty in the Mestizo nose; Rhinoplasty in the
African-American nose; Rhinoplasty in the Asian nose; Facial
aesthetic surgical goals in patients of different cultures; and
Concepts of beauty in a multicultural world.
