Cosmetic Injection Techniques: A Text and Video Guide to Neurotoxins and Fillers 2nd Edition

Cosmetic Injection Techniques, Second Edition
A Text and Video Guide to Neurotoxins and Fillers

The revised and updated Second Edition of Cosmetic Injection Techniques by renowned facial plastic surgeons Theda Kontis and Victor Lacombe builds on the success of the bestselling first edition to deliver a comprehensive, practical reference for non-surgical facial aesthetic enhancement. Created for both novice and experienced injectors, this text offers the latest advances in facial fillers, neuromodulators, and fat-dissolving techniques, grounded in current anatomical understanding and clinical best practices.

Structured into six clearly defined sections and four practical appendices, the book walks the reader from patient consultation through to advanced procedures such as jawline contouring, skin boosters, and Kybella treatments. New chapters address gender-specific injection approaches, fine lines, poly-L-lactic acid use in the décolleté, and the de Maio injection technique, reflecting both North American and regional variations in aesthetic practice.

Each chapter is organized in a reader-friendly format, covering indications, techniques, anatomic considerations, precautions, pearls, and risks, and is richly illustrated with full-color drawings by Sarah Faris and clinical photographs. In addition, 75 high-quality narrated video clips by Dr. Kontis demonstrate techniques in real-time, providing valuable visual reinforcement for learning and reference.
