Prevention and Management of Aesthetic Complications: New book by Dr Patrick Treacy out now!

A new textbook authored by Dr Patrick Treacy and featuring contributions from more than 20 world-leading experts around the management and prevention of aesthetic complications has now been published. 

Covering all aspects of aesthetic medicine, including botulinum, dermal fillers, threads, lasers, and problems related to specific anatomical regions, Prevention and management of aesthetic complications can be purchased directly from the publishers Minerva Medica and currently through all European Amazon sites except Amazon UK and Amazon US.

UK-based contributors include Dr Beatriz Molina, Dr Martyn King, Mr Taimur Shoaib and Dr Christopher Rowland-Payne. 

The publisher's description reads: “As the popularity of soft tissue fillers increases, so do the reports of adverse events. The most serious complications are vascular in nature and, unfortunately, include the possibility of blindness. It is critical for injecting physicians to have a firm knowledge of vascular anatomy and to understand key prevention and management strategies. Hence, the need for this book.”

Dr Treacy was recently awarded the AIDA Award in Abu Dhabi for Outstanding Contributions to Aesthetic Medicine. The award acknowledged his work in establishing globally-recognised protocols for the use of hyaluronidase during vascular occlusion. Hyaluronidase is now used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists worldwide to reverse the injurious effects of hyaluronic acid injections, and Dr Treacy is recognised to be among the first doctors worldwide to use this compound and establish protocols for its use.
