Plastic Surgery: More Than Skin Deep
Plastic Surgery: More Than Skin Deep (UCSF Osher Mini Medical School). No other specialty in medicine gets more publicity and less understanding than plastic surgery. There is a great deal more to plastic surgery than just cosmetic procedures: reconstruction involving every part of the body, microsurgery, wound care, and research into transplantation and stem cell biology. In this series from UCSF Osher Mini Medical School, the outstanding faculty of the UCSF Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery present a review of the full breadth of plastic surgery pursuits, from face lifts to breast reconstruction to the latest in stem cell research.
