Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty: Craft and Magic , by Dr. Mark B. Constantian, a master work by a master surgeon, is destined to change the way you practice rhinoplasty. It is essential reading for all surgeons interested in nasal surgery. For many surgeons, rhinoplasty is seen as a complex and often mystifying operation. This book takes the mystery out of rhinoplasty, making it both understandable and controllable, demonstrating that function can always be improved, and showing how particular postoperative shapes can be achieved with a high level of certainty. It will provide you with the basic skills and understanding of how rhinoplasty works in both primary and secondary nasal operations. This comprehensive book is packed full of useful information to help you improve your rhinoplasty results. An applied anatomy chapter discusses the critical anatomic variants that are important to diagnose and how these affect the end result during different operative procedures, such as reduction of the dorsum. The surgeon learns what to expect after each operative step, and to understand how to interpret what is seen in the operating room. Another chapter focuses on the airway; it describes how to avoid creating airway problems and how to correct these problems when they occur. Multiple grafting techniques are also described with step-by-step details of how to use each type of autogenous donor material and the secrets for making the grafts work the first time. Important information is included on how you work with the different types of soft tissue covers with different patient types and specific clinical problems, including cleft lip nose, the traumatized nose, the older patient, the narrow nose, the thick-skinned nose, and the open rhinoplasty deformity. All common secondary problems are addressed in detail, such as secondary dorsal tip and supratip deformities. Numerous innovative features and tips and tricks are included to guide the reader and enhance understanding. Icons introduce each technique, providing a visual summary of the operative strategy used for each problem discussed. Summaries of surgical plans precede each procedure. Surgical solutions to specific problems are grouped together and illustrated with step-by-step technique. Long-term results are analyzed, with inclusion of many 5-, 10-, and 15-year results. Four DVDs with operative video complement and expand on the techniques described in this amazing two-volume set.
Short-Scar Face Lift
In the highly popular MACS-Lift Short-Scar Rhytidectomy , Drs. Patrick Tonnard and Alexis Verpaele introduced surgeons to an exciting new concept in facial rejuvenation-one that offered shorter incisions, minimal morbidity, and reduced recovery time. In this companion volume, Short-Scar Face Lift: Operative Strategies and Techniques , Drs. Tonnard and Verpaele build on that foundation and expand their scope. The book is organized into two sections. Part I, Short-Scar Face-Lift Techniques , discusses indications, applications, and alternate short-scar face-lift techniques. The editors elaborate on the different aspects of the MACS-lift and short-scar face-lifting. They review the important lessons they have learned during years of experience with the MACS-lift, including a discussion of complications, problems, limitations, and technical tips and tricks. They are joined by Dr. Foad Nahai, who discusses technical considerations; Dr. Joseph Hunstad, who provides a systematic step-by-step guide to his approach; Dr. Mark Jewell, who describes the biomechanics of the MACS-lift and offers technical tips for success; and Dr. Daniel Baker, who describes his personal lateral SMASectomy short-scar face-lift technique and compares it to other comparable and convergent techniques. Part II focuses on Combined Approaches and Ancillary Treatments for facial rejuvenation. In this section, Dr. Daniel Labb discusses the anatomic basis of minimally invasive neck correction through a short scar and Dr. Alain Fogli details his simple, safe technique for temporal lifting. Finally, Dr. Thomas Roberts brings all of these techniques and treatments into perspective through his analysis of the volumetric concept of facial rejuvenation. He provides an in-depth discussion of facial fat micrografting and describes how the synergistic use of multiple surgical and nonsurgical modalities can lead to superior results. With beautiful, four-color illustrations, numerous case examples, and an accompanying DVD with operative videos, this book provides the ultimate surgical instruction that will allow surgeons to incorporate this procedure into their practice.
The MACS-Lift
The MACS-lift is a full face lift that can be performed with local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The operation can be completed in two hours, and most patients return to normal activity within two weeks. Its minimal duration makes it both safe and practical for use in conjunction with laser resurfacing and other facial cosmetic procedures. This remarkably effective technique is minimal in every way, resulting in a shorter scar, reduced morbidity, and few complications reported in more than 200 cases. This beautiful atlas details the MACS-lift operation in its entirety. Every step, from first to last, is clearly described and accompanied with photos and illustrations to explain the nuances of the technique. A chapter devoted to case examples presents some results of simple and extended MACS-lifts. Additional chapters discuss secondary and ancillary procedures as well as complications and problems that may arise. An in-depth DVD accompanies the book and demonstrates every aspect of this innovative surgery. Additional animation complements descriptions and emphasizes key concepts contained in the book. The video shows the entire procedure from preoperative markings to final suturing of the skin flap with preoperative and postoperative results.
Fundamental Topics in Plastic Surgery
Given the wide-ranging nature of the literature one must study in plastic surgery training, a solid grounding in many fundamental principles and procedures is an absolute prerequisite to becoming a competent plastic surgeon. And yet, until now there has been no single source that collects these fundamental topics in one volume; rather, the information has had to be gleaned from the introductory chapters of multiple comprehensive textbooks. The present volume takes a new approach, and provides the trainee an opportunity to learn these fundamentals more efficiently and comprehensively through a single book. This work will prepare the trainee to confidently advance to the more specific core topics in reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. Key Features: Highly efficient presentation and organization of all fundamental plastic surgical topics21 chapters cover such topics as patient safety; normal and abnormal wound healing; local anesthesia and nerve blocks; soft tissue infections and antibiotics; implants and biomaterials; basic surgical techniques; grafting of fat, skin, bone, and other tissues; flaps; burns; and much more.Each chapter closes with a summary of key points. Ideal for all surgeons in training, Fundamental Topics in Plastic Surgery is a complete introduction to the science and technical expertise of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
