Manual of Cosmetic Medicine and Surgery Volume 2 – Breast Reshaping


Free Download Manual of Cosmetic Medicine and Surgery: Volume 2 – Breast Reshaping by Mohan Thomas, James D’silva
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 394 Pages | ISBN : 9819937256 | 653 MB
This comprehensive plastic surgery manual on breast reshaping explains in detail the various surgical procedures carried out towards increasing the aesthetic appearance of the breast. Today the surgical management of the breast crosses the lines of gender. Male breast or gynaecomastia is an equally vexing problem for the young as well as the old alike. This volume discusses the surgical management of this aesthetic nightmare in a step by step manner with photographs, illustrations, schematics and short videos. This book comprehensively covers the four major conditions requiring surgical breast reshaping. The first being a small breast, requiring solutions including fat grafting or a US FDA approved cohesive silicone gel implant. Needless to say this is a very gratifying procedure providing immediate results with little or no downtime. This volume also covers important topics such as breast reduction in young and older patients which are a very challenging operation for most surgeons’ particularly recent graduates. This volume also deals with the complexities of this procedure taking into account all the factors that will help the reader have a successful outcome. It contains important chapters on the situation of post pregnancy when the women experience the ‘post-partum blues’ secondary to dysmorphic changes to the body, particularly the Breast and its management. Additionally it also explains the commonly encountered complications, pitfalls and useful recommendations stemming from experienced authors.

English | PDF | 1989 | 682 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 50.3 MB
From the Preface: (…) The book is addressed to students on various levels, to mathematicians, scientists, engineers. It does not pretend to make the subject easy by glossing over difficulties, but rather tries to help the genuinely interested reader by throwing light on the interconnections and purposes of the whole. Instead of obstructing the access to the wealth of facts by lengthy discussions of a fundamental nature we have sometimes postponed such discussions to appendices in the various chapters. Numerous examples and problems are given at the end of various chapters. Some are challenging, some are even difficult; most of them supplement the material in the text. In an additional pamphlet more problems and exercises of a routine character will be collected, and moreover, answers or hints for the solutions will be given. This first volume of concerned primarily with functions of a single variable, whereas the second volume will discuss the more ramified theories of calculus (…).
