Filled with take-away messages and valuable insights, Aesthetic Breast Surgery by Elizabeth Hall-Findlay, MD is a
masterful text that you will refer to time and again. It presents a personal and time-proven approach to all forms of
aesthetic breast surgery.

This book is a distillation of the author's extensive experience and provides her unique perspective on problem-solving
and patient analysis. Dr. Hall-Findlay has spent years measuring and studying patient results to help other surgeons
use "science" to improve the "art" of aesthetic breast surgery. She has developed an approach to analysis and surgery
which is simple and consistent - with results that can be achieved by all surgeons.

Prepare Yourselves for a Master Class in Aesthetic Breast Surgery
With personal insights and wisdom pervading every page, this book provides the reader with a master class in aesthetic
breast surgery by one of the world's leading experts. Dr. Hall-Findlay is widely known for her popularization of the
medial pedicle approach to vertical breast reduction and this is covered in depth. However, her accomplishments in
breast surgery extend far beyond this technique. Her ongoing innovations continue to advance the field. In this semi-
atlas work, she brings her considerable expertise to bear on the range of aesthetic breast surgery procedures as she
describes her individual approach to patient evaluation, operative planning, clinical decision-making, and operative
technique.

Comprehensive Coverage
Divided into 9 comprehensive chapters, the book begins with key chapters on analysis, concepts, applied anatomy, and
patient selection that lay the foundation for the technical descriptions that follow. These introductory chapters are
not to be missed. They offer a unique approach to patient assessment and alert the reader to critical anatomic
landmarks that strongly influence the success of operative procedures. Concepts such as the breast footprint (high-
breasted and low-breasted patients) are examined to help readers understand the realistic possibilities for what can
and cannot be achieved when planning breast surgery. The emphasis is on the decision-making process involved in
choosing the right approach for each patient and then planning the procedure with these landmarks in mind.

The next seven chapters are devoted to operative technique. A consistent format is used in each chapter with detailed
information on patient evaluation, planning, technique, revisions, complications, and outcomes. These pages are
liberally illustrated with step-by-step descriptions depicting breast augmentation, vertical breast reduction with the
medial pedicle, liposuction-only breast reduction, mastopexy, mastopexy/augmentation, and surgery for breast
asymmetries. Information on avoidance and treatment of problems and complications is also highlighted throughout the
book. Of particular note is the comprehensive information on nipple necrosis in the reduction chapter; this provides
essential information to help surgeons who are faced with decreased blood supply to the nipple.

Beautifully Illustrated
Beautiful and dramatic color illustrations and numerous preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative images help the
reader visualize the steps of each procedure and appreciate the excellent long-term results that can be achieved.

Unique Features
Throughout the technique chapters, artwork icons are paired with photographic images to better elucidate the surgical
technique being described. Key points are highlighted throughout the pages and a summary box outlining central issues
concludes each chapter. Multiple DVDs containing operative video complement the text.

This remarkable book is packed with clinical insights and must-know information. It is destined to become a valued part
of your library.
