The number of cosmetic and aesthetic procedures increases year after year. According to statistics compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 17.7 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States in 2018. Of these 1.8 million were surgical, while 15.9 million involved the use of minimally invasive procedures (e.g., botulinum toxin injections, fillers and dermabrasion). Not surprisingly, many of these procedures are performed on the head and neck, with rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty together accounting for more than 400,000 cosmetic procedures. Given the rising number of procedures, the authors of this book have created a detailed resource for practitioners. While the book focuses on the anatomy of the head and neck, it is tailored to the surgical and minimally invasive procedures currently in use. The book is organized into three sections; local anesthesia, regional anatomy and surgical anatomy. The authors bring decades of clinical practice and teaching together in creating this textbook. It is an excellent resource for all practitioners and especially trainees.
