I want to thank Dr. Michael Alperovich for serving as guest editor for this issue of Seminars in Plastic Surgery on “Computerized Surgical Planning in Craniofacial Surgery.” We also appreciate the efforts made by each of the outstanding authors they have invited to contribute to this issue.

Dr. Michael Alperovich is a board-certified plastic surgeon, full-time faculty member, and Director of the Craniofacial Fellowship at Yale University. He graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, after which he went on to complete a plastic surgery residency and craniofacial surgery fellowship at New York University Langone Medical Center.

Dr. Alperovich's practice encompasses the full spectrum of craniofacial surgery including pediatric (cleft lip and palate, mandibular distraction, craniosynostosis, and orthognathic surgery) and adult (facial trauma, gender affirming facial surgery, and posttraumatic or oncologic reconstruction) patients. He has been previously invited to teach courses and speak about computerized surgical planning as it relates to mandibular distraction, craniosynostosis, and gender affirming facial surgery. He has been named to Connecticut Magazine's Top Doctors' list for the past 4 consecutive years and to New York Magazine's New York Metro Top Doctors' list for several years. He has been invited nationally and internationally as a visiting professor and guest faculty. He has authored over 175 peer-reviewed publications and multiple plastic surgery book chapters.
