Operative Procedures in Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Every plastic surgeon has a handful of procedures that they perform regularly and a host of other procedures they perform only occasionally. This list differs from surgeon to surgeon and locale to locale. This volume is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to performing the most common plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgical procedures. Key topics include preoperative markings, intraoperative details, avoidance of complications during surgery, postoperative instructions, and the most commonly accepted ICD and CPT codes for each procedure. Line drawings and clinical photographs enhance the text.
