Scholars of plastic surgery at various US universities offer a comprehensive guide to the essential elements of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, to serve young physicians just beginning plastic surgery practice as a foundation for further study. They cover syndromes and congenital anomalies, cutaneous lesions and facial reconstructions, head and neck reconstruction, maxillofacial and soft tissue trauma, rhinoplasty, and aging-face surgery. The illustrations are drawings and black-and-white photographs. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
