This comprehensive and richly illustrated surgical atlas is uniquely dedicated to the aesthetic and reconstructive needs of Asian patients, addressing anatomic differences and the cultural preferences that guide cosmetic goals in this population. Written by pioneers in Asian aesthetic surgery, including Dr. Jung Park and Dr. Dean Toriumi, this reference breaks new ground with highly specific, step-by-step techniques and a robust discussion of common complications and their management.
Unlike general cosmetic surgery texts, this atlas emphasizes distinct facial anatomy, procedural modifications, and specialized techniques that respect ethnic identity and aesthetic harmony in Asian patients. The authors offer clear, actionable guidance based on first-hand operative experience, making this atlas a must-have resource for any surgeon treating East Asian, Southeast Asian, or mixed-ethnicity patients.
