More than 100 full-color clinical photographs and photographs of cadaver dissections supplement the drawings and highlight specific anatomic points.Major sections of the book cover facial analysis; anatomic systems such as musculature, nerves, and vasculature; and anatomy of each specific region of the face. Each chapter begins with a discussion of key anatomic concepts and then presents the illustrations in a sequence that allows easy reference and presurgical review. The comprehensive coverage includes anatomic details relating to the full range of surgical techniques, as well as anatomic variations associated with race, age, and gender.Note: A set of 150 full-color slides of illustrations from this book is also available from Lippincott-Raven Publishers.
