This book is dedicated to the following individuals:

My wife, whose friendship, love, and support has allowed me to pursue my passion for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for so many years. My success would have not been possible without her at my side offering critiques when needed and encouragement always. She has always helped me balance my professional life with my home life and kept me grounded. To my very first oral surgery mentor, Dr. Gary Jeffrey. He was an outstanding teacher, surgeon, and role model. To my former partners in private practice for their support and encouragement throughout my career in private practice. To my colleagues, residents, and students at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine who have enriched my professional life. Finally, to my co‐editor and friend, Pushkar Mehra, who brought me into academia. These years have allowed me to complete the circle of my career from student to teacher. It has been such a pleasure to work with you and learn from you.

Bradford M. Towne

My father, Mahendra, and my mother, Sheila, for their unconditional love, constant encouragement, and for guiding me to do what is right. To my wife and best friend, Deepika, who has endured the life of an academic surgeon’s spouse—I am eternally grateful for the numerous sacrifices you have made to raise our daughter, your never‐ending support, and you are responsible for making me a better human being. To, my beautiful daughter, Zaara, who is the shining light of my life, for sharing her father with others. To all my residents, students, and colleagues—I have, and continue to learn so much from each one of you. To my fellow editor and friend, Brad Towne—thank you for your hard work, commitment, and dedication, all of which made this project possible.

Foreword

Neurotoxins and Facial Fillers are some of the cosmetic procedures most commonly requested by consumers today. These services are provided by many different types of providers. This book is not an exhaustive review of all products and procedures but provides a review of what the authors consider to be the most commonly used products and techniques. Our text provides a review of applied facial anatomy related to neurotoxins and fillers, patient evaluation, the pharmacology of the products, the application of the products involved, and potential complications. Finally, we have included a chapter on how to effectively market your cosmetic services in the world of social media.

This text was the combined effort of many widely recognized authorities in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Dr. Mehra and I are most thankful for each of our authors’ contributions to this book. We hope that you find the information useful and applicable to your practice.
