About ElizabethRadisson
Recommended to three types of readers:
(a) People considering having cosmetic surgery.
(b) People with loved ones considering or have received cosmetic surgery.
(b) People purely curious about cosmetic surgery.
The first few chapters describe medical training (e.g., board certification), health care environments (e.g., office vs. hospital), and patient qualifications (e.g., as healthy as possible). These chapters emphasize the importance of choosing an appropriate medical team. If the logic does not convince you, then the scary monochrome and color photographs will.
The remaining chapters explain various treatments, such as face-lifting and liposuction. Questions such as: Will there be pain? Will my skin turn red, and if so, for how long? How much will it cost? are answered candidly.
The book will help you become an informed patient, or a loved one of a patient.
I was looking forward to reading this book. If you are looking for general information on all procedures then you found it. I was disappointed with lack of specific information and the pictures. You can easily find the broad knowledge presented in this book on the Internet. I wouldn’t recommend this to someone is trying to research a particular procedure they are interested in.
Very well organized, direct and easy to read. Describes how to pick a reputable surgeon, explains procedures, what to expect and includes pitfals to procedures. Lots of before after pictures. The author does a great job at presenting the information.
