Expanded to two volumes and thoroughly updated, Surgery of the Breast: Principles and Art is the most comprehensive "how-to" reference on surgery of the breast.

More than 90 of the world's leading surgeons describe and demonstrate the most advanced and successful techniques for all types of breast surgery:

• oncologic management of breast disease
• breast reconstruction
• reduction mammoplasty and mastopexy
• augmentation mammoplasty

The text is illustrated throughout with over 3,700 drawings and full-color preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative photographs. Emphasis is on how to solve surgical problems and how to perform various techniques. Editorial comments in each chapter provide an alternative perspective and address current controversies
