About this book

This well-illustrated book presents one hundred and eighty cases that have been consulted on by an international breast group (organized and run by Dr. Michael Higgs) that comprises experts in breast surgery and is dedicated to the solution of problems associated with aesthetic breast surgery. The focus of the book is accordingly on actual pre- and postsurgical problems in breast surgery. Each case study includes the history of the breast problem, photos, questions, recommendations for treatment, and discussions of relevant subjects from a variety of specialists. Outcomes of the selected treatments are also presented. The book is unique in covering the multitude of complications that can arise with breast surgery from the perspective of international experts. It will enable readers to identify appropriate methods of handling specific problems and to implement the recommendations in their practice.

Reviews

“This is a compilation of breast surgery Q & A examples submitted to a group of respected breast surgeons, who then analyze each case and offer suggestions to deal with the issues at hand. … The audience is any surgeon who performs breast surgery, including new and experienced surgeons who come upon perplexing situations. … It serves as an easy to use source of knowledge that answers many of the bread and butter questions that a surgeon will encounter.” (Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2017)
