Facial Rejuvenation  

By Fritz E. Barton, MD Benefit from the experience and expertise of a skilled facelift surgeon, Dr. Fritz E. Barton, in this outstanding book on facial rejuvenation. Written in a personal style that engages the reader, Dr. Barton shares his personal philosophy that a more extensive face lift is worth the effort if it delivers a highly consistent, long-lasting, and natural result. For him, that operation is the High-SMAS. Step-By-Step Descriptions This beautiful, 4-color semi-atlas describes and illustrates every step leading to mastery of the High-SMAS face-lift procedure with tips and tricks scattered throughout. A detailed analysis of variations in different faces is provided along with methods for approaching them surgically to help the surgeon individualize treatment. Comprehensive Coverage The book is divided into two parts. The First Part: Basic Considerations contains a wealth of information about topics ranging from office set-up and patient consultation to anatomy and anesthesia. The introductory chapter on the office contains valuable insights and suggestions to assist surgeons in dealing with issues of office planning, staffing, and effective office management. The Second Part: Procedures includes step-by-step descriptions of operations for the forehead, eyes, face and neck. To complement these technique chapters, the book also includes information on perioperative care and complications. Two extensive chapters on non-surgical cosmetic treatments describe the various non-invasive treatments, such as lasers, botox, and fillers and various topical skin care options and how these can be combined with surgical rejuvenation to complete and enhance the overall result.
