Author Description

This unique full-color surgical atlas of nasal anatomy presents a true-to-life view of the nasal structures and subcutaneous tissues during surgery. The book contains an unprecedented collection of full-color photographs of fresh cadaver sections, anatomical illustrations, and actual patient photographs. The full-color photographs of fresh dissections are juxtaposed with full-color air-brush illustrations of the surgical anatomy, and this innovative combination of fresh tissue preparations and surgical drawings affords a more realistic view of the complexities of this anatomy than is found in standard atlases. It provides a complete preview of the prospective surgical site for both the seasoned surgeon and the resident in training and is also ideal for anatomic study in preparation for board certification.Written by a leading authority with over 25 years of experience, the text describes the specific features of nasal anatomy that directly influence the reconstructive, restorative, and cosmetic aspects of the rhinoplasty operation. Emphasis is on contemporary techniques of conserving and preserving nasal tissue to produce more aesthetic results rather than relying upon more traditional tissue resection and reduction methods. Full-color photographs of patients demonstrating variant nasal anatomy are followed by clear, logical explanations and demonstrations of exactly how specific salutary results were surgically created.
