Description
Julien Bourguet was a French surgeon in the 20th century. In this book Bourguet discusses cosmetic surgery of the nose, ears, eyes, mandible (chin), and face. Bourguet performed a lot of aesthetic surgery in France. Both the hard and soft tissues of the face are addressed. As medical photography was becoming more standard, the book is filled with numerous before-and-after pictures. This technique of “before-and-after” pictures has become the standard in today’s cosmetic surgery practices.
