E Bisaccia, D Scarborough,
500 pp., 390 illus., 2002.
Experienced dermatologists and educators, Drs. Bisaccia and Scarborough, address those of you who are established dermatologic cosmetic surgeons and those of you who are just starting out. Their aim: to help you address with more clarity, patients who come to you for appearance restoration and enhancement.
Bisaccia and Scarborough know well the complexities of positioning a practice. Here in The Columbia Manual of Dermatologic Cosmetic Surgery, they elucidate the subject for you by establishing a framework for practice based on their years of surgical experience and mentoring fellows.
They open their text with chapters on the very basics of:- establishing office-based surgery
- setting up the ambulatory surgical facility
- acquiring credentials and hospital staff privileges
- marketing your practice
The core of The Columbia Manual focuses on the patient and the procedures. Here the authors offer you a deliberative method of approaching the cosmetic surgical patient based on tiered strategies for intervening in the aging process.
A careful consultation leads you to defining the patient's concerns, then laying out treatment plans for mediating aesthetic maintenance and rejuvenation goals congenial to yourself and your patient. To that end, the authors adeptly discuss with you the initial visit as well as facial and body analysis - and they provide you with a wealth of therapeutic algorithms to help you choose a direction.
The Columbia Manual, while not a "how-to" text, does offer you outlines of a dozen procedures, including soft tissue augmentation, microdermabrasion, the latest in laser surgery, face-lift, hair restoration and otoplasty.
Here in the procedural chapters the authors add some highly useful components::- patient information sheets
- consent forms
- specific pre- and postoperative instructions for patients
- setup materials that support outpatient surgical patient care
