Cosmetic surgery procedures are incredibly popular and a plethora
of practitioners offer a tremendous diversity of procedures.
However, much practice has been based on historical preference,
tradition and non-evidence based decision-making. This book
demystifies the decision-making process for common cosmetic
surgical procedures by examining their evidence basis. Each chapter
deals with a different subject of cosmetic surgery -- facelift,
breast augmentation, liposuction and so on -- and investigates the
formal evidence that exists for each. Should a surgeon be using
drains after facelifts? What is the best anatomical plane for
placing a breast implant? Which hand rejuvenation procedures work,
and which do not? These questions, and many more, are addressed in
an objective manner based on peer-reviewed evidence in the medical
literature. Recognising that best evidence will change constantly,
the book also introduces the hashtag -- #ebcs -- to enable easier
debate of the subject on social media. This is a subject of
fast-growing international interest at the moment. Professional
societies and politicians in the United Kingdom are calling for
increased scrutiny and regulation of the cosmetic surgery industry,
particularly in the wake of the most recent breast implant scandal.
Incredibly there currently exists no resource collating the best
available evidence for cosmetic surgery procedures, as already
exists for other surgical disciplines and for non-cosmetic plastic
surgery. This book is aimed at surgeons with an interest in
cosmetic surgery -- including Plastic Surgeons, Maxillofacial
Surgeons, Ear Nose and Throat Surgeons, Breast Surgeons, General
Surgeons, Dermatologists and General Practitioners as well as
affiliated professionals such as nurses and therapists. It would
also be of interest to medical students, prospective patients and
those interested in a succinct summary of existing research, such
as journalists.
