Rejuvenation of the Aging Face

Rejuvenation of the Aging Facecovers the assessment, planning and treatment required to rejuvenate aging patients, using a combination of surgical and non-surgical approaches to give the best cosmetic results. It focuses on new areas such as fat transplant, rapidly-developing treatments such as injectables, and refinements to existing surgical techniques.

Starting with an assessment of the presenting problem, the authors explain how best to devise a treatment plan that combines both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Detailed overviews are provided for each recommended surgical technique, together with comprehensive discussion of post-operative considerations. With over 200 illustrations showing typical patient cases, a DVD with selected surgical video clips, and the combined expertise of highly regarded facial plastic surgeons and dermatologic surgeons, Rejuvenation of the Aging Face is an indispensable guide to the assessment and management of the aging face.
