• Sommario/riassunto: There is an increasing number of medical professionals specializing in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and the panoply of procedures themselves is growing all the time, and not simply confined to treatment of the face. Patients are accordingly becoming more demanding and want to achieve the best results, whether they want the difference to be dramatic or more subtle. This is a synoptic text covering all procedures and the whole body, from an international centre of excellence, on how to offer the best results to demanding patients. Each chapter uses case studies to illustrate how to tailor procedures to individual patients--Provided by publisher.
