Product Description:
Sharpen your facial surgery skills--by mastering the design and execution of flaps
. .
This practical, all-encompassing sourcebook demystifies the planning and execution of flaps for anyone performing facial surgery. Written by leading facial surgery experts, the book starts with an introductory chapter that highlights the basic principles common to all flaps. Next, you'll get an in-depth look at flap physiology and random flap patterns, such as advancement and rotation flaps; split- and full-thickness grafts; the repair of eyelids, ears, and lips; the replacement of nasal lining and support; and free flaps.
. .
The high-yield coverage features multiple options for any procedure, and is supported by a quick-acess format that features lines and arrows superimposed on full-colour patient photos--a convenient tool that helps you visualize the design and movement of flaps.

Does the world really need another facial reconstruction book? I did not think so, since I already own a few.
I recently was able to flip trough this and was amazed by the photographs. It is very nice to have an "atlas of holes" with sketches of different flap superimposed with the authors' reasoning nicely contained in the text. It is like having Ramsey Millette in your living room.
There are, of course some reconstructions which I would not have done but that is the beauty of dermatologic plastic surgery: there are usually a few good options.
This book is not for the beginner, although it does have a nice description of flaps including the most straigtforward explanation of mechanics of specific flaps that I have seen illustrated. This will be useful if you perform a large number of facial skin reconstructive surgeries.
The eyelid reconstruction was the best I have seen in a book not completely devonted to periorbital surgery.
While there are many authors it is obvious that Dr. Buchen had heavily edited this text, making it very readable.
