Seldom does a book achieve status as a classic in its first edition, but The Art of Aesthetic Surgery by Foad Nahai has been hailed as a masterpiece since its inception. Reviews have been universally laudatory, and residents and experienced practitioners alike have embraced this work as the ultimate resource on all things aesthetic.

Now, this landmark work has been totally revised and updated with new chapters (many with new authors) and revisions to existing chapters to reflect the latest trends, techniques, and information. The text is supplemented with two DVDs with step-by-step videos of operative procedures.

Volume I Contents

The first volume begins with patient fundamentals, selection of anesthesia, and business basics. It discusses skin care and dermatologic treatments, facial fillers, and dermabrasion and chemical peels. It also explores hair transplantation, brow lift, blepharoplasty, and avoidance and treatment of complications of aesthetic eyelid surgery.

His contributors, representing the "who's who" of aesthetic surgery, provide detailed accounts of their techniques for the different operations, as well as the planning process so crucial to producing excellent results.
