Recenzje

"The editors of Injectable Fillers in Aesthetic Medicine (a plastic surgeon and a dermatologist)  have combined to create a second edition in which they set out to provide the reader with an overview of the most common biodegradable and nonbiodegradable fillers ... . I congratulate the authors on producing a resource that by and large delivers on its promises. I recommend that clinicians involved with injectable fillers use this as both a thorough reference guide and a practical aid." (Janek Januszkiewicz, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, Vol. 35, September, 2015)
