There are only a few books on rhinoplasty and most are limited to the editor’s
techniques or those of a few contributors. These give restricted information
on the variety of procedures that are available and are mainly for teaching the
inexperienced and somewhat experienced surgeons how to do rhinoplasty
and possibly stay out of trouble.
This book on Advanced Aesthetic Otoplasty: Art, Science, and New
Clinical Techniques gives a history of otoplasty and a detailed analysis of the
newer techniques that are available in otoplasty. National and international
experts of newer procedures report on subjects covering ear embryology and
anatomy, surgical techniques of otoplasty, the possible risks and complications
of otoplasty, and outcomes in otoplasty. This concept of gathering new
techniques from international experts is not present in any other book on
otoplasty, and the information is extensive and quite different from even
recent books on otoplasty. The book is for the inexperienced, experienced,
and the very experienced surgeon doing rhinoplasties.
The editor wishes to present advanced technology and clinical techniques
in otoplasty from unique contributors experienced with these procedures that
are modi fi ed or original procedures. The contributors are inventive and eloquent
in presenting to the reader a way to progress from inexperienced or
experienced surgeons in rhinoplasty to better understanding that there is more
than following simpli fi ed techniques as a template to performing a procedure
that is fraught with possible risks and complications.
All cosmetic surgeries are potential problems if the patient is not properly
evaluated preoperatively, not only physically but also mentally. This is most
true with the patient considering otoplasty. However, the satisfaction of the
patient who has a good result is inestimable. |
