Red cloth-covered boards, gilt spine and front board lettering (bright), 10 1/4 x 7 1/4 inches, 122 pp., 52 figures. Book very good plus (marked offsetting to endpapers; previous owner's bookplate, front pastedown; otherwise, pages clean and binding square and tight. Dustcover very good minus. From the Preface: "My purpose in writing this book has been twofold: (1) to describe the classic face-lift operation and the various auxilliary techniques that may complement it; (2) to trace the development of esthetic facial surgery down through the ages as a natural outgrowth of man's instinctual desire to alter and enhance his personal appearance --- in the beginning, to appease the spirits and bring good fortune; later to gain prestige and establish status not only in this life but, as with the Egyptians, in the afterlife; and in all cultures to satisfy the universal and eternal craving for personal beauty and uniqueness." Contents: Historic Aspects; Beauty Business and Civilization; Beauty Business and Skin Care; Etiologic Factors; Anatomy of the Face; Facial Rehabilitation; Auxiliary Procedures that May Complement the Face-Lift Operation; Technique of the Face-Lift Operation; Complications of the Face-Lift Operation; Causes of Failure of the Face-Lift Operation. (3214015). F. Hardcover.
