Download Description
Written by a trained cosmetic surgeon who possesses over 35 years of experience and has performed 5,000 cosmetic procedures, this reveals a full and accurate picture of the inner workings of a much-hyped field. This book also serves as an authoritative guide to choosing a top specialist, selecting the right procedure, and using a safe facility at an affordable price. Key information is featured on negotiating fees without compromising quality; tracking down "superspecialists" (surgeons who are properly trained and perform only cosmetic surgery); and ensuring the best results with the fewest complications. Thirteen of the most common cosmetic procedures to the body and face are described and profiled in terms of operating room times, recovery time, and how long the procedure is effective. Also included is a convenient, ready-to-copy 29-point checklist.

The internet is good 4 general info, but if you want to know about choosing the right DR., evaluating before/after photos than this book is 4 you. It just brings up things, that you wouldn't think of, but is essential 4 having a successful surgery and making informed decisions.

Aging is never the problem ... as long as you stay in top form
"Face it" - you get older every day because the clock marches forward. Aging and getting on in years is not the problem. BUT ... accumulating wisdom doesn't have to show on your face! Thanks to advancements in cosmetic procedures, diet and exercise, facial toning exercises, lifestyle, etc ... aging gracefully doesn't have to look like a shriveled up flower. Cosmetic surgery done within reason is a great option to keep feeling your best, as long as you don't confuse physical beauty with self-worth, it makes sense to look as young as you feel. You won't look 20 when you are 50 ... but you will look your best.

must have
after researching dr.kotler and finding out how good he was,i went on amazon and found his book and all of the great reviews.being in a new state and not knowing anyone or anything i needed all of the help i could get.what a great result!you absolutely must read this book before doing anything.i am now 16 days post surgery and i am very pleased.i had a rhino and an upper eyelid.the only reason i gave the book a 4 rating is because the pain and healing are really underplayed by everyone including dr. kotler.although everyone is differant it was very painful and healing is slow.but i have a perfect nose and my eyes are great.you must,i repeat must read this book before having surgery.
