Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This book describes the applied anatomy, step-by-step surgical technique, and results achieved with vertical mammaplasty and liposuction. Using this technique, the author's goal is to achieve symmetric, well-contoured breasts with reduced scar lengths.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide plastic surgeons and surgeons-in-training a detailed description of the preoperative and intraoperative procedures so that this technique and subsequent results can be duplicated.
Audience: The intended audience is the student of plastic surgery and the surgeon-in-practice. The book is appropriate for all plastic surgeons who desire to learn a technique that will add to their surgical armamentarium in breast surgery.
Features: This book has color illustrations and photos of excellent quality. They are well conceived, described, and presented. The references are current, cite original work, and are plentiful. The book is accompanied by a color video that offers a well-organized overview of the technique more specifically described in the text.
Assessment: The book is attractively presented and conceived. It is easy to read because it is well organized and indexed. It serves as a useful guide for surgeons learning this technique of breast reduction and contouring. Plastic surgeons in training and in practice would benefit from this book and video.

A surgical book both conveying the results that have been achieved by Lejour (Dept. of Plastic Surgery, U. of Brussels, Belgium) with vertical mammaplasty and documenting the steps of the procedure so that its results can be replicated by others. The volume is divided into seven chapters: fundamentals; applied anatomy for vertical mammaplasty; patient consultation and evaluation; operative procedure; complications, problems, and secondary revisions; special applications; and long-term results. Excellently illustrated with color photographs, drawings, and mammograms. The author's videotape on the vertical mammaplasty technique is included. Annotation c.
