Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery

Breast augmentation has been the most frequently performed surgery in the US for a number of years, and it is also one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries internationally. When taking into account reconstruction after disease, this is an area of immense relevance to all plastic surgeons. This high-profile area can also have inportant implications for a patient's self-image and self-esteem. Management of both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the breast involves a myriad of options. This book will assist the plastic surgeon with navigating this unique terrain. Each chapter analyzes specific clinical issues that are frequently encountered in the plastic surgeon's practice, with the goal of providing the plastic surgeon with clear and contemporary information detailing available aesthetic and reconstructive alternatives for surgery involving the breasts.

Key topics in the book include:

• Preoperative considerations
• Congenital breast anomalies
• Reconstruction as part of cancer treatment
• Breast reduction
• Secondary procedures
• Long-term results
• Male breast surgery
• Office procedural issues, such as billing and coding

This will be an ideal book for aesthetic plastic surgeons and reconstructive plastic surgeons.
