Summary:

Whether from trauma, congenital deformity, or disease, many patients can present with disfiguring and debilitating facial defects. This reference presents a range of expertise on soft-tissue surgery of the craniofacial region for improved function and enhanced cosmetic appearance. Covering the latest technologies available, this source includes chapters on laser imaging, burns, cleft palate, and facial paralysis.

Highlighting the current practice and management of anomalies and abnormalities within soft tissue surgery of the craniofacial region, this text will inspire the reader to develop stronger solutions to the persistent problems encountered in craniofacial surgery. Essential topics covered include... the analysis and surgical treatment of soft tissue deformities of the craniofacial skeleton...new advances and techniques in tissue expansion and microvascular transfer of soft tissue...the sophistication of aesthetic techniques amenable to reconstructive surgical problems, such as nasal reconstruction following cancer, ear reconstruction for congenital anomalies, and lip reconstruction following tumor ablation...irregularities in the face and neck, with both issues being highlighted individually within the text.
