ASIAN FACIAL COSMETIC SURGERYis intended as an
introduction to Asian cosmetic surgery for the western
plastic surgeon with a limited exposure to the Asian
patient. Because of a steadily increasing influx of Asians
immigrating to the United States, opportunities to deal
with Asians are more common than in the past. Cosmetic
surgery for the Asian patient is an entirely separate field of
plastic surgery. Applying surgical principles for whites to
Asians often produces unexpected, and sometimes even
disastrous, results. The western ideal of beauty may not
conform to the concepts of beauty nurtured by Asians.
Despite the enormous cultural influence of the western
media, there is an element of ethnic pride that perseveres
through the search for the ideals of Asian beauty. On the
other hand, there are plenty of surgical procedures that
benefit Asians and that apply the exact same surgical
principles used for white patients. ASIAN FACIAL
COSMETIC SURGERYis limited to facial surgery simply
because the face is what distinguishes Asians so much from
whites. There are only a few books written in English that
deal with Asian cosmetic surgery. Although the books
teach the philosophical aspect of care for the Asian patient,
surgical procedures are described rather casually and
briefly. The illustrations and operative photographs are
summarized rather than detailed. This book is designed for
surgeons who are not familiar with the procedures
described, and an atlas format is a perfect vehicle for this
purpose. Any surgeon can follow the directions from the
beginning to the recovery period in a step-by-step fashion.
The authors took extra efforts to include every detail that
the learning surgeon should know, going back to the first
year of residency. Just as there is no ending in learning the
depth of every surgical procedure, the chapters were
reviewed again and again to guard against the omission of
any aspect of the surgery that might benefit even wellinformed surgeons.
Contributing authors from China, Japan, Korea, and The
United States combine their regionally and culturally
specific knowledge to create a rich pool of science and
experience. This book represents the soul and sweat of the
contributing authors, each of whom has performed and
taught these procedures day after day for decades.
