Aesthetic Perspectives in Jaw Surgery, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1999

Harvey M. Rosen, M.D., D.M.D., broadens the aesthetic goals of maxillofacial surgey in this new, comprehensive volume on orthognathic surgical correction. In the work, Dr. Rosen, who has "changed the way most surgeons work on the jaw and chin," (James Ferraro, President of the Maxillofacial Society), offers his own personal techniques of jaw surgery. Due to the advent of the biotechnical advances which have stabilized skeletal displacement, Dr. Rosen is able to emphasize the aesthetics of soft facial tissue corrections by redefining the goals of aesthetic surgery.
