Praise for the first edition:
"This book uses a case study approach that is comprehensive and easy to follow wiht lots of colour photographs. I enjoyed reading this book: it's logical, easy on the eye and mind and it's easy to tell the author is a very experienced facial surgeon. I think it is an extremely valuable book to have and to use regularly as it will help in managing a wide variety of patients."--"High Commendation" in the Surgery Category of the 2008 British Medical Association Medical Book Awards
