Plastic Surgery, 3rd Edition

The third edition of "Plastic Surgery," edited by Dr. Peter Neligan, is a comprehensive six-volume work that continues the legacy of the original text by Dr. John Converse from 1964. Volume Two, edited by Dr. Richard Warren, focuses on aesthetic plastic surgery and is divided into two sections: aesthetic surgery of the face and general aesthetic surgery. The face section includes 22 chapters covering a range of topics from facelifts and peri-orbital surgery to nonsurgical rejuvenation and hair restoration, with Chapter 11 providing an extensive treatise on facelift principles and techniques. The general section covers body contouring and aesthetic genital surgery, with multimedia content such as accompanying videos for most chapters. The textbook is noted for its organized format, consistent artwork, and is available with additional online content, including historical perspectives, figures, references, and videos. This volume is considered essential for plastic surgeons and trainees interested in aesthetic plastic surgery, and the entire series is highly regarded as a fundamental resource in the field.
