The increasing multicultural population in the US and the world is reflected in the patient population that most Facial Plastic Surgeons are seeing in their practice environments. Facial plastic surgery procedures and aesthetic goals had been based predominantly on European Caucasian models of anatomy and cultural influences/ Currently, a wide variety of racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds are included in most facial plastic surgery practice experiences. A recognition and sensitivity to those differences and influences should be part of a modern facial plastic surgeon's skill set. With an understanding of the tremendous clinical relevance of multicultural aesthetics, this issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics addresses Anatomy, Aesthetic goals, Patient evaluation, and Surgical techniques according to various ethnic, racial, and cultural needs. Some of the topics presented are Considerations in non-Caucasian facelift procedures; Scar variations by skin type; Laser and face peel procedures in non-Caucasians; Rhinoplasty in the Mestizo nose; Rhinoplasty in the African-American nose; Rhinoplasty in the Asian nose; Facial aesthetic surgical goals in patients of different cultures; and Concepts of beauty in a multicultural world.

The book offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in facial plastic surgery by combining ENT and facial plastic surgery disciplines. The volume is divided into 8 parts and covers all aspects of the topic, from the structure of the face to facial anesthesia and acupuncture. It provides detailed explanations on how to achieve the best outcomes using rejuvenation techniques such as fillers, neurotoxins, suture lifts, and mesotherapy. These techniques will be discussed in detail to achieve cosmetic surgical excellence. This book is an invaluable tool for ENT practitioners, facial plastic surgeons, and plastic surgeons interested in staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and products in facial plastic surgery.
