Rejuvenation of The Aging Body: Surgical and Nonsurgical Treatments

Description

Rejuvenation is a medical discipline focused on the practical reversal of the aging process. It is distinct from life extension. Life extension strategies often study the causes of aging and try to oppose those causes in order to slow aging. It is the reversal of aging and thus requires a different strategy, namely repair of the damage that is associated with aging or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue. There are many books on facial rejuvenation aimed at dermatologists but relatively few covering the whole body. This book aims to provide clear instructions on which treatment types to use for each specific problem, together with details of any special modifications that must be made for different body areas. Chapters describe how best to assess the aging body and build a suitable treatment plan combining all the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques to give the best cosmetic results. It includes numerous color photographs that illustrate each technique and its effect on the appearance. It is an invaluable guide to the assessment and management of the aging body, for trainee and practicing dermatologists, dermatologic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons.
