Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, and surgery, Weill Medical College of Cornell U.) and Chen, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, assemble 19 instructional chapters by surgeons from New York- Presbyterian Hospital who explain how to perform common surgical and non-surgical procedures in aesthetic plastic surgery.
