Good door stop
I've been trying to study from this book for the past year and have found it poorly indexed, with minimal useful information for the early plastic surgery trainee compared to other sources availible which are far more indepth relevant and cheap. The online material is frustrating and is limited to only 2 computers. Not useful enough to justify the cost at my early level of training.

Excellent book
It is definitely the best Plastic Surgery text ever and Amazon is great regarding deliveries.I always use their service and am very pleased.

Let the buyer beware
I am a Plastic Surgeon and thus very interested in the subject matter. The The Text is actually very good but you will be cheated with the online access. 1. access is slow. Elsevier has not fixed this problem since it was brought to their attention last summer. 2. There is a floating copyright notice that moves over the illustrations. This is incredibly annoying and distracting. 3. You will only be allowed to access the Online Edition from two different computers. What good is that if you work in six or seven different locations. 4. You will not be allowed to export any illustrations for use in teaching etc.
The content is good but the way the Online Edition has been managed borders on fraud!

The ultimate plastic surgery reference
This 8 volume plastic surgery treatise, taken as a single reference, is the largest medical book in the history of medical documentation. This is the fourth version of this series started by John Marquis Converse for the first two editions (1964, 1977), continued by Joseph G. McCarthy (1990), and now edited by Stephen J. Mathes (2005). The vast spectrum of medical diseases treated by plastic surgeons are covered in 219 chapters broken down into 8 logical reference books: (1) General Principles, (2, 3) Head and Neck, Parts 1 and 2, (4) Pediatric Plastic Surgery, (5) Tumors of the Head, Neck, and Skin, (6) Trunk and Lower Extremity, and (7, 8) The Hand and Upper Limb, Parts 1 and 2. Illustrated with thousands of pictures and drawings, the human maladies and conditions treated by plastic surgeons are beautifully presented for educational edification. This is a must reference for possibly the next 10-15 years for current and in-training plastic surgeons. ... Read more

Product Description
Evidence-based medicine is now firmly established in the lexicon of modern health care. In "The Evidence for Plastic Surgery" the diverse spectrum of plastic surgical practice is called to account by a cross-examination of the available evidence in support of many of the common treatment protocols and surgical procedures in everyday use. The result is a text that makes an important contribution to some of the contentious debates within the speciality and details the critical appraisal of new or developing techniques. This is a unique and invaluable reference source for senior doctors and for those in training, not only in plastic surgery but also in a variety of other closely aligned specialties, including general and orthopaedic surgery. ...

This book was purchased as used.The seller underestimated the condition of the book.It arrived and if I didn't know better I would say it was new.Great purchase.

A REFERENCE FOR BREAST SPECIALISTS
The main argument of this timely book is unique. There are many other reference books in plastic surgery and breast surgery, but here the author addressed a most detailed description of almost all techniques of reoperative procedures after aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast. As an ocoplastic surgeon, I face in my practice most of the problems incorporated in the book: revision and salvage surgeries after implants, complications in flaps, reoperative surgery after breast reduction and mastopexy. All of them are great challenges for breast surgeons. The specific emphasis in this kind of surgery is of great value to all specialists involved in the management of breast surgery. ... Read more

Amazing: Should be in every eye department
This book is amazingly good. It's basically an updated improved version of Jeff's previous prerequisites book but so much better now especially with the colour and DVD. It's now the primary textbook of choice for all our trainees and fellows passing through our oculoplastic service. It's very much a personal tutorial and of course there are lots of ways to skin a cat, etc. Others criticise it by citing that it doesn't present a fully comprehensive catalogue of every operation technique for a particular problem but put it this way....every trainee who's used it has become a very competent surgeon using standard recognised techniques which the majority of oculoplastic surgeons would agree with. I now recommend this, Richard Collin's systematic eyelid surgery as the first 2 books to buy for our fellows....

The info you need... STAT
Hi. This is a great pocket book that covers what it says on its title: Plastic Surgery Emergencies. It helps you make quick differential diagnosis, and gives a summary of the treatment options in a quick, simplistic fashion... Don't expect a lot of techniques here, just the basic info, but the info you need STAT.

Enlightening
There is a wealth of new information here that has changed the way I eat, look and feel for the better.The changes don't take long to happen either.Having given upall wheat products for just 2 days, my puffy eyes and moon shaped face have become a younger version of me.I love this!!!I agree with the earlier reviewer who said this book should get 7 Stars ... Bravo!!!

Beautifully Brilliant
Oz Garcia is and always has been way way ahead of the curve. His level of research and innovation is impressive. And he tells all in this book. Really! Everything anyone would need to know to feel and look 10 years younger is all here. I found page after page of the most up to date advice from Oz and from other five star specialists.

Insightful and Useful
Garcia's new book is the anti aging bible for nutrition and supplements, hormone therapy and minimally invasive cosmetic surgery.One of the things you can count on from Oz is that he brings together the top experts from each field to speak. For example he brought in Dr Lionel Bissoon to talk about Mesotherpy and Park Ave Surgeon Dr Lisa Zdinak to explain Thermage, Carboxytherapy and other new technologies. Its simply a must read for anyone who wants to look and feel younger.

Redesigning 50
Oz Garcia has done a fabulous job with this book, especially since he has the experts giving their "slant" on each topic.I found it to be most informative in an "easy to understand" format.I carry it with me all the time as "reference".

Fabulous 7 Stars
This book is terrific. It deserves at least 7 stars. ******* Its explains in detailissues as diverse asblood tests the average Doctor doesn't even perform such as C-Reactive Protein, homocysteine, and fibrinogen.It also explains hormone therapy both synthetic and bioidentical.It explains nutraceuticals, mesotherapy, the whole world of non invasive and minimally invasive facial and skin rejuvenation such as Thermage, Carboxytherapy In typical Oz style he actually interviews the leading Doctors in each of their respective fields and they are the ones who provide much of the diverse information in the book. You would have to buy at least a dozen books ( one from each of the expert authors) to get all of that information in one place. Oh yes and there was a chapter on food the first one. Its astonishing and a terrible disservicethat someone could write a review after reading only one chapter, clearly ignorant of the wealth of information in this book, admit it and Amazon actually posts it.There is no way that anyone, even a Doctor or a scientist, could knowall of the information in this book because contributions were made by over 50 leading Doctors and companies. ...

A good result for the bold proposal to cover all aspects of the surgical face
This book has a concise approach on a region with infinite aesthetic and functional variations. Good source of general information about facial plastic surgery. As an oculoplastic surgeon, I can say this book adds some ideas about the areas surrounding the one in which I mainly act but doesn't offer any detailed or deep knowledge about all the face - including oculoplastic surgery.

A very good, but not fantastic, result for the bold proposal to cover all aspects of the surgical face in only a thousand pages. The book is very very good, but I'm sure that the authors are better than it.

That's a very good choice!
