From the Author

When the first edition of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was published 10 years ago we knew that many of the chapters would need updating soon thereafter. The rapid development of new technologies and techniques has made this update even more essential. In this new edition we have included information on the applications of new endoscopic, laser, and microvascular techniques. New biomaterials are analyzed with regard to basic science and clinical use. A chapter on ethics in facial plastic surgery has been included due too its growing importance in the modern medicolegal world. The aesthetic surgery and rhinoplasty, and congenital deformities sections have been expanded due to the rapid development of information in these areas. Many more options for reconstructive techniques have also been included.

As in the first edition the mission of this text is to provide the core information necessary for a surgeon to research a specific problem or technique in facial plastic surgery. Each chapter provides a general overview, basic science essentials, clinical applications, and appropriate references. This text is not intended to be a surgical atlas or a comprehensive text on each subject. We strive to present the critical core information for practicing surgeons, fellows, and residents alike.
