Abstract

Since 1983, Facial Plastic Surgery has been an outstanding resource for learning about established and new techniques in facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, provided by an eclectic selection of the world's leaders in the field. Each issue is dedicated to a particular topic and provides thorough and broad coverage of key topics in both aesthetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery. As the official journal of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery has been a valuable tool in promulgating the field in Europe, North America, and worldwide. Over the past several years, we have continued to keep the journal timely and up-to-date by increasing the number of issues per year by 50%, providing color illustrations, and coordinating a Continuing Medical Education program through the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (http://wwww.aafprs.org) to offer readers a convenient method of self-assessment at no cost. All articles are published on the Thieme Web site, and subscribers have easy access to all 27 years of the journal's articles at the Thieme-connect Web site: https://www.thieme-connect.com/ejournals/toc/fps.
