My aim in writing this book is to present the truth regarding the methods of aesthetic plastic surgery of the head and body - the truth as I have come to perceive it in the course of more than 20 years' experience in the field. After this long period of quiet sedimentation and elaboration, of gradual accumulation of thoughts and ideas, I feel the urge to share with my colleagues, especially the younger surgeons amongst them, the fruits of my experience. Although the procedures used in aesthetic plastic surgery when I en tered the specialty two decades ago have since evolved, the basic prin ciples have remained the same. Time has given me the opportunity to improve my own techniques as well as to benefit from the work of many others who have also contributed to the progress of the spe cialty. This long process of maturation endangers the contemporari ness of a work such as this, but I have taken great pains to create a detailed, up-to-date presentation, enhanced by step-by-step illustra tions, of the surgical procedures that, in my hands, have been of value. With regard to the accomplishment which this work represents, I would first like to acknowledge the help of my former teachers, Dr.

Readers will discover the relatively new and rapidly growing field of regenerative surgery and fat grafting, valuable for numerous plastic surgery, reconstructive, and aesthetic/cosmetic essentials. Though many books have covered specific areas or topics in regenerative surgery, the market lacks a work that tackles the full spectrum of regenerative surgery and its clinical application. This book responds to that need and presents chapters written by the best: world-renowned surgeons in their field. After an introduction that reflects basic research, most of the book focuses on clinical experience as it relates to applied techniques of processing fat and on the different uses from head to toe. Readers will learn about the history of regenerative surgery, important definitions and background information, and the evidence supporting the use of regenerative surgery. Practitioners will also find valuable guidance regarding the application of stem cells, evaluation of patient needs, and operative techniques for fat transfer. Subsequent chapters address topics such as graft types, the skin, wound healing, scar treatment, osteoarthritis, burns, scleroderma, hair rejuvenation, facial enhancement combined with facelift, chin augmentation with fat, and breast argumentation or reconstruction with fat. Particular attention is paid to gluteal augmentation with fat, body contouring, genital male and female rejuvenation, and upper and lower extremity regenerative surgery. Surgical anatomy and complications treatment and prevention were emphasized when applied. This resulted is two volumes that encompass 114 chapters, with multiple figures, and video clips, written by 242 authors (including 72 female colleagues) from five continents. Highly informative and carefully structured, this book provides invaluable insight for beginners and experienced plastic surgeons alike, while benefitting advanced surgeons, specialists, and undergraduate and graduate students.
