    The document reviews several books relevant to cosmetic surgery, dermatology, and complementary medicine. "Local Flaps in Facial Reconstruction" is praised for its detailed methods of repairing cutaneous defects and includes contributions from various specialties, making it a recommended addition to a physician's library. "Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery" offers a multidisciplinary approach to facial surgery, with chapters containing surgical "pearls" and extensive documentation of procedures, despite some redundancy. "Complementary Therapies for the Pharmacist" discusses the integration of alternative medicine with orthodox medicine, emphasizing the need for more research but serving as a good reference for understanding various treatments. "Acne Rx" by James E. Fulton, Jr., details the genetic process of acne and discusses both old and new treatments, including the use of Accutane and benzoyl peroxide, making it a valuable resource for those treating acne patients.
