Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Surgery

Minimally invasive aesthetic procedures are an important part of dermatologists’ day-to-day clinical routine.

It also includes a summary of tips and relevant references. With more than a hundred procedures presented and discussed in a clinically applicable format, Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Procedures - A Guide for Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons is a practical manual for all dermatology and plastic surgery practitioners who are interested in aesthetic medicine.
