Book description
For millennia, men and women have turned to surgical and cosmetic aids
in the pursuit of well-being through physical beauty. Indeed many of the
procedures performed by todays aesthetic plastic surgeons have their
origins in places and cultures as remote as ancient Egypt and Rome.
Written with candor and compassion, Cosmetic Surgery Today presents
clear descriptions of the latest techniques, including face lifting,
nose correction, liposuction, breast augmentation, reconstructive
surgery, procedures specifically for male patients, hair
transplantation, and many more. Before-and-after photos clearly show
what is involved in each procedure. Cosmetic Surgery Today provides the
background necessary for an intelligent, informed discussion about
aesthetic surgery that will interest not only potential patients, but
also medical professionals in other fields, journalists, stylists,
make-up artists, and anyone interested in this much-discussed, but often
poorly understood field. Packed with accessible, practical information,
this unique resource is a fascinating exploration of the true nature of
beauty and well-being and the vital role aesthetic surgery can play in
achieving it. "The strength of this book, reflecting 25 years of
experience, is the difficult overall care of the patient who is looking
for cosmetic improvement. Therefore, any interested reader, trainee or
established practitioner in this difficult field of human aesthetics,
will like this book, will read it with interest and enthusiasm, and will
greatly profit."--European Journal of Plastic Surgery Clinic
