Advanced Caucasian and Mediterranean Rhinoplasty

Advanced Caucasian and Mediterranean Rhinoplasty PDF

The text is divided in small chapters that were written in pearl form and joined up in a string-like manner. Numerous comprehensible schematic drawings help to elucidate the text and most of them were made by a professional illustrator, Karin Spijker.

The book follows the Chinese adage according to which 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. The last decennium I developed the habit to take my camera into the operating room, thus creating the basis for the many full-color peroperative open-structure rhinoplasty photographs. The text is divided in small chapters that were written in pearl form and joined up in a string-like manner. Numerous comprehensible schematic drawings help to elucidate the text and most of them were made by a professional illustrator, Karin Spijker. Another key feature of this rhinoplasty book is the fact that it is written by one surgeon. This avoided overlap and gave me the opportunity to display 'my way' of performing rhinoplasty from the first consultation to the last postoperative visit. Of course 'my way' of rhinoplasty is nothing more than the result of a slowly progressing process stacking techniques that were invented, modified and described by so many great rhinoplasty surgeons in the past.
