About this book

​​​​​This new text helps ​facial plastic surgery fellows and advanced residents in otolaryngology/head and neck surgery find the answers they’re looking for when preparing to take the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery exam. Covering core content relevant to the ABFPRS board exam, this guide emphasizes key facts and clinical pearls essential to exam success and includes hypothetical exam questions and relevant surgical and clinical images. Written by leader in the field and the Director for the facial plastic surgery fellowship program at the University of California Irvine, this book discusses everything from basic techniques and evidence-based medicine, to fillers, injectables, implants and the psychological aspects of plastic surgery. Additionally, the chapter layout and organization of the Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Study Guide allows the reader to focus on just those topics relevant to the board exam, making it a must-have for anyone preparing to take the exam.​

Reviews

“The text is clear and concise and serves its purpose well. Each chapter finishes with a few multiple choice questions that help focus the mind. Overall, a relatively short and worthwhile read / reference, especially for those in the run up to the FRCS exams.” (Patrick Addison, The PMFA Journal, Vol. 04 (3), February - March, 2017)
