Thomas Procedures in Facial Plastic Surgery is a seven-volume series covering the full spectrum of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, with contributions written by nationally recognized facial plastic surgeons detailing their own clinical techniques and practices.

Each volume is generously illustrated with superb clinical and surgical photos and numerous detailed case study photos. This series is of great value to experienced surgeons and as a teaching tool for resident level physicians.

Facelift presents an approach to facelift which has evolved over a career of three decades.  An evaluation of a variety of facelift techniques and approaches is described by the authors. Ultimately, the goal is providing the reader with reliable, safe methods for facelifts. This volume serves both as a teaching text for the resident or novice surgeon, as well as a procedurally specific reference for the experienced surgeon. The text is enhanced with illustrations, demonstrations, and clinical photos.

The series can be purchased individually or as a complete set: Thomas Procedures in Facial Plastic Surgery seven-volume bundle.
