- Features high-quality images and approximately 50 procedural videos demonstrating exactly how to perform facelift, thread lift, browlift, and blepharoplasty procedures.
- Presents real visual aging to identify the festoon formations—one of the most difficult areas to handle in the rejuvenation of the lower eyelids and face.
- Includes a detailed chapter on accrediting and building a state-approved operating room and photography room, and includes information on how to reduce the risk of COVID transmission through proven air system UVC devices.
- Shares the knowledge and expertise of a leading cosmetic dermatological surgeon in every chapter, along with other specialists (facial plastic, plastic, oculoplastic, and oral maxillofacial surgery) who are proficient in each technique and have reviewed and added their pearls to the procedure.
