Biodynamic Excisional Skin Tension Lines for Cutaneous Surgery (2018) Sharad P. Paul

Description

This book introduces the concept of Biodynamic Excisional Skin Tension (BEST) lines, based on original research that concludes incisional and excisional lines are biomechanically different. It addresses the inadequacy of traditional Langer’s lines for procedures like skin cancer surgery, covering skin biomechanics, collagen and elastin properties, skin vascularity, and mapping BEST lines across the body for use in plastic or dermatologic surgery.
