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.

Non-Invasive Cosmetic Procedures is a guide to the field of facial cosmetic surgery. With relatively few medical contraindications, non-invasive procedures have a large number of applications and an increasing treatment population. The cosmetic treatment’s preoperative planning, technique, postoperative care, and suggested resources for further reading are provided by the authors.

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