Office-Based Facial Cosmetic Surgery

Office-based facial cosmetic surgery began in the 1960s and has expanded exponentially since then. The majority of clinics now have their own office-based facilities, and every elective aesthetic procedure from hair transplantation to abdominoplasty and breast reduction can be done as an outpatient procedure with tremendous increases in efficiency, safety, and time. Although the capital expenditure is high, the rewards in time, efficiency, and safety are greater. Patients can be seen before surgery, between cases, and after surgery with no loss of time. An office-based situation allows multidisciplinary approaches of specialties to startup teamwork. In addition, the patient's time is treated with the highest respect. This book combines the knowledge of contributors from specialties like plastic surgery, dermatology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, ENT, and more to provide readers with an extensive guidebook on aesthetic office-based procedures. The book provides detailed case studies alongside the variety of complications that may arise. At the end of each part, the authors will engage in a discussion of how to achieve ideal results based on the individual patient. With videos illustrating proper technique for each procedure and full color images to correspond with each treatment, this text will offer a multidiscplinary approach to appeal to a wide audience of physicians.
