Dear colleagues and friends,

A few years have passed since the
publication of my second edition and the book has sold out, so my editor
asked me to publish a revised and corrected third edition. What to say!
An unexpected success that makes me very pleased, of course, and very
happy because in the recent few years, the use of botulinum toxin has
radically changed! The anatomical knowledge has improved in an
exponential manner and the small details, not completely clear until a
little time ago, have been clarified, thanks to the numerous anatomical
master classes of cadaver dissection, extremely important to
understanding where and at what level the injections need to be
performed! The knowledge of clinical anatomy has very much improved as
has the way to study the patients in order to understand the different
muscles that are involved with their mutual synergies that will
determine the different pattern of movement, all treatable with
different final units. I changed many details of the utmost importance
on the injection technique, which determined a great improvement of the
results, of mine and the patients’ satisfaction, that I want to
translate into the satisfaction of fellow aesthetic physicians and users
of this wonderful medicine in the field of the aesthetic medicine. I
have therefore improved (in my opinion) some fundamental chapters like
the anatomical one or the ones on clinical anatomy and practical
treatment of the patients. We have added many videos in the practical
section and many anatomic studies that can be useful and preparatory to
deeply understand the details in order to treat the patients with a
better awareness and knowledge. I have kept unchanged my usual
philosophy of practicality following the said: “Don’t show me how good a
doctor you are but let me see how you get your results! “ And this is
what I still ask to my co-authors, all very good, expert and very
skilled in obtaining very good results with innovative techniques and
explained in detail. I hope, therefore, this time also to have guessed
the right layout, practical but with clear, exhaustive explanations, and
with anatomical but especially clinical thorough references, which will
make you say, I hope: “Yes! How haven’t I thought of it before!” What
to say then: enjoy reading this book, even to those who had purchased
the previous editions, because many are the changes and I hope that all
readers will appreciate the updated work that makes, in my opinion, this
edition interesting and worthy to be read, to find help for every day,
for those who work in the field and sometimes have doubts that I hope
this book will solve. As always, I’m open to any criticism and I hope to
find you all for a fourth edition of future!
