This is the very first book to describe the superficial anatomic structure of the face and neck by means of detailed ultrasonography (US). This superbly illustrated book will help aesthetic physicians to familiarize themselves with the US anatomy of the face and neck and to understand the applications and benefits of US when performing minimally invasive aesthetic procedures in this region. A deep understanding of anatomy is imperative if such procedures are to be safe and effective. Bearing in mind the range of potential anatomic variations, US can offer vital assistance in identifying target structures of the face beneath the skin when carrying out treatments that would otherwise be performed "blind". In this book, readers will find detailed guidance on the use of US in the context of botulinum toxin and filler injections, threading procedures, and other minimally invasive aesthetic approaches. This is done with the aid of more than 530 US images, including cadaveric dissections and illustrations of volunteers and patients. For novices, valuable information is also provided on the basics of US imaging.

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.

This book covers an up-to-date review of advances in the management strategies for patients with breast cancer and their co-morbidities. Oncoplasty has become the standard of care for breast conservation surgery and can lead to improving aesthetic outcomes of breast cancer surgery, without compromising oncological outcomes.

Written by experts in the field, chapters address a wide range of breast surgery techniques that help the general surgeon provide improved oncologic and aesthetic results for patients. The authors have detailed not only best practice for conventional procedures but also new and evolving techniques. Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Techniques for the General Surgeon serves as a valuable resource not only for medical students but also for the general surgeon seeking to improve results in private practice and for professors learning and teaching new breast surgery techniques.

One major by-product of the aging baby-boom generation has been a surging interest in cosmetic surgery. Out-patient cosmetic surgery clinics have sprouted up in droves all over the U.S., and the number of cosmetic procedures performed in 2005 increased by over 95% from the previous year. Although procedures like facelifts and abdominoplasties (the 'tummy-tuck') are considered minimally invasive, the anesthetic protocols and regimens here are often overly complex and unnecessarily toxic. Major complications involving anesthesia in this (and any other) surgical milieu can range from severe post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) to neuromuscular spasticity to mortality. The mortality spectrum of things may be rare, but there have been many cases in which perfectly healthy cosmetic surgery patients require emergency intervention due to a severe complication involving anesthesia. In recent years, many new anesthetic protocols have been developed to reduce the incidence of PONV and other complications, while ensuring that effective pain management and level of 'un-awareness' during surgery is always maintained.
