Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal
"The Art of Aesthetic Surgery: Principles and Techniques is more than a multi-authored, three-volume text in full color on the entire field of aesthetic surgery, edited by Foad Nahai. It is also eminently readable, beautifully illustrated, and extraordinarily comprehensive. Most importantly, it is personal. Although multi-authored, much of the book is written by Dr. Nahai himself and represents his personal journey through a career in plastic surgery. His personal experience and narrative tie the chapters together in a way that is unique for books of this type. The three volumes provide the most comprehensive book on the topic of aesthetic surgery ever produced."

European Journal of Plastic Surgery
"[The Art of Aesthetic Surgery: Principles & Techniques] draws on the talents of some of the world's leading experts to provide the best information possible on a broad range of topics...Foad Nahai has to be congratulated for many aspects of this set of books - choosing the authors and getting them to write their chapters, arranging the text, organizing the uniformity and excellence of the illustrations, and finally for contributing so much of his own work and experience...Quality Medical Publishing [has] been very supportive in this [effort] and [has] produced a wonderful state-of-the-art three-volume book which will be the gold standard in all ways for many long years to come."

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery
"This three volume text is going to be a standard reference point for all aesthetic surgeons. It is edited by plastic surgeons whose qualifications are impeccable, and contains contributions from over 70 experienced aesthetic surgeons...Produced in full colour with excellent quality of illustrations, it is a joy to browse. This is a book I shall use for years to come, in fact until there is a new edition, I expect. I unreservedly recommend it for all undertaking aesthetic surgery, as a refresher and updater for the older surgeon and a bible for the new recruit. It ably demonstrates that aesthetic surgery has become a discipline and it is one of the foundation texts for practitioners. I strongly recommend it."

Dermatologic Surgery
"This multiauthored text is one of the most comprehensive works on aesthetic surgery ever published ... The overall effect is a physically beautiful and appealing work that feels good to look at and is easy to read. No review can do justice to this magnificent work. One simply has to hold it in the hands to fully appreciate it. I would advise any physician interested in aesthetic surgery to take a long look at this textbook."
