“This atlas, devised, like the other books in this series, to satifsfy the practical needs of plastic surgeons, mainly aims at suggesting the most modern techniques suited for correcting defects in the midface area. It also adequately describes the most advanced operations for treating age-related imperfections in the surrounding areas of the face. In order to make the following actual section on surgery easier to understand, we thought it was best to write this chapter regarding the particular anatomy of this complex area focusing on specific details. We shall start by depicting the general anatomy of the face and continue by taking the midface area into consideration more specifically. We firmly believe that a surgical operation can’t be performed correctly, without a thorough knowledge of anatomy.” Giovanni Botti
