This is a wonderful book which can be strongly recommended to anyone who undertakes face lifting procedures."   (1994) Head & Neck "By reviewing this book, one should be able to perform a composite rhytidectomy as safely and effectively as if one had actually flown to Dallas and watch Dr. Hamra himself. If facial rejuvenation surgery is a significant part of one's practice, Composite Rhytidectomy is an absolute must for the cosmetic surgeon's library."   (May/June 1994) European Journal of Plastic Surgery "Dr. Hamra has provided us with a high quality book and video combination which clearly illustrates how to perform a composite rhytidectomy. He has also established his stated goal to provide a high quality book and video combination which should allow surgeons interested in performing composite rhytidectomy to do so with confidence."   (1994) Annals of Plastic Surgery "This text serves as required reading for the plastic surgeon performing face-lifting procedures. Whether used as a departure point in learning and mastering composite rhytidectomy or as a springboard for undertaking the conceptual components of deep-layer dissection, this book will give clarity and knowledge to surgeons undertaking pan-facial rejuvenation."   (March 1994)
