Flaps for the Central Face

Containing a step-by-step approach to the principles of repair and reconstruction of typical surgical defects of the central face (nose and lips), this book is designed to meet the needs of trainees and physicians performing all types of cutaneous surgery. It contains descriptions of flaps and surgical techniques illuminated by conceptual line drawings. Also given are details of design, movement, extent of undermining, key suture, and dog-ear removal provided for each flap. Emphasis is also placed on the rationale foe choosing one flap over another based on availability, minimal disruption, and scar camouflage.
