"The text comprehensively examines facial aesthetics in the context of dentofacial and craniofacial diagnosis and treatment planning." -- Booknews, 1 June 2011
"[An] opus...inimitable in its field...an outstanding composition...an in-depth, thoroughly comprehensive arrangement of information to inform, guide, and teach us in the analysis and diagnosis of facial deformity...incredibly interesting and painstakingly researched pages...highly illustrated on every page...This is a book that will be of interest to anyone who has an interest in facial aesthetics. From a clinical point of view, this book will interest anyone who looks after patients with dentofacial deformity from maxillofacial and plastic surgeons, orthodontists, to general dentists and any other dental and medical specialists who desire an understanding of the importance of facial aesthetics in the treatment of 'real people' rather than 'patients with a disease entity'." (European Journal of Orthodontics, 1 May 2013)
"I think this a remarkable effort from a single author: it is clearly a labor of love . . . Most residents in plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, or maxillofacial surgery should be exposed to this material in their training, and this is a good place to get that exposure in one place." (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery,1 November 2012)
"Thoughtfully integrates historical, clinical, and surgical perspectives in the medical fields ranging from maxillofacial to plastic and reconstructive surgery. The author elegantly provides the science and art of facial aesthetics with emphasis given to analysis of the craniofacial complex, facial aesthetic units, and clinical evaluation, in addition to smile and dental-occlusal relationships...has undertaken a detailed approach in presenting dental aesthetics, which makes this publication rather unique...allows a broad appeal to both dental and medical specialists." (Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, 1 September 2012)
"The best analysis I have ever seen of the comprehensive factors involved in establishing exactly what makes a person facially attractive, unattractive, or simply average. The book's 24 logically arranged, easy-to-follow chapters--beautifully illustrated in full colour--systematically and thoroughly explore all the dentofacial and craniofacial details that determine how we look. I believe Facial Aesthetics will find an enthusiastic reception among orthodontists who would like to refine their understanding and appreciation of the human face and to apply the author's practical protocols to their clinical diagnosis and treatment planning." (Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, 2012)
"This is an excellent reference text for those interested in facial aesthetics and surgery. Section II looks at facial type, proportions and symmetry, providing an outstanding and essential reference...Section III is astounding and presents each facial region using annotated illustrations and methodically explains each facial subunit. The research at the core of this text is comprehensive and it is complemented by the generous use of illustrations. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in facial aesthetics." (British Dental Journal, 24 September 2011) "In summary, this book is written in a clear and accessible format, with colour illustration throughout, an important guide for all the practitioners in the field of facial aesthetic surgery and aesthetic dentistry with an interest in refining their understanding and appreciation of the human face and applying practical protocols to their clinical diagnosis and treatment planning." (Journal of Oral Health and Dental Management, 1 December 2011)
