Preface

The makeup of today’s facial plastic surgery patient is as diverse as ever with a larger percentage of patients from various ethnicities seeking cosmetic enhancement. This edition of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics focuses on a broad range of non-White groups, including African, Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern individuals, with coverage of important topics ranging from cultural considerations, rejuvenation of the aging face, ethnic lip reduction, hair restoration, to rhinoplasty techniques. In-depth discussion of the management of difficult-to-treat ethnic skin is covered with an introduction to a new paradigm for ethnic skin and safe and effective treatment strategies using advanced lasers and traditional peels.

This edition draws from an international cadre of experts on the non-White face from a diversity of disciplines including facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, and dermatology. Given the growing interest from non-White patients today, this edition of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics should serve as an indispensable reference source for the contemporary aesthetic surgeon of the face. I hope you reap benefits from the assiduous work that my colleagues and I have put into this year-long labor of love.
