ISBN: 0-7817-5081-4. This book is a revision of a similar publication in 1985, by the same author, from the Institute of Reconstructive Surgery – New York University Medical Center. It pre- sents the surgical anatomy of the forehead, periorbital region, cheek and orbit that is relevant to a facial plastic surgeon. There are eight chapters: 1.

As well as traditional topics like the VIIth nerve this edition of the book has been updated to include the anatomy of endoscopic brow lifts, sub orbicularis oculi fat lifts and mid face lifts among others. The book reads like a collection of surgical teaching points and relevant anatomical facts. This is often how we accumulate surgical knowledge in apprentice-based training. This book presents the author’s pertinent thoughts on facial anatomy, and its surgical relevance to facial plastic surgery, very well. Many find learning through diagrams and images easier than through text and this is well satisfied by the variety and number of illustrations. I do have some criticisms of the book. Although the information in the text boxes is informative, in the absence of passages of text to tie them in together, I feel the book lacks structure in parts. I do not find the lower eyelid retrac- tor section as clear as it could be and it might be improved by more operative photographs. There is no index, the text is not referenced and there are a higher-than-expected num- ber of typographical errors. In spite of some negative points this book merits consid- eration for cosmetic facial plastic surgeons as an addition to a reference library.
