Product Description

Review

"Been thinking about having a bit of work done? With cosmetic surgery, it's always best to know what's what and who's who before going ahead with any invasive treatment. Good then that consultant plastic and aesthetic surgeon Norman Waterhouse has released a must-read guide to the workings of the industry."--Brand New You

Product Description

Cosmetic surgery has become the subject of intense media and public interest in the last few years. It is unique amongst the surgical specialties in that prospective patients are directly targeted by advertising, and often, through the use of aggressive sales and marketing techniques. For the general public and potential patients, understanding the procedures and accessing high-quality care is problematic, and independent professional advice from an appropriately trained and experienced doctor is essential. This advice should include a realistic assessment of the benefits and complications of any treatment. This book provides a clear and informative guide to cosmetic surgery and an overview of the range of procedures now available. The book also features an explanation of what makes a well-trained cosmetic surgeon and how to choose one. Individual chapters are devoted to specific procedures including facelifting, breast surgery, eyelid and chin lifts, liposuction, lasers/peels, botox and fillers and abdominoplasty.

excellent 18 Mar 2010

By Ms. Billygoatgruff

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been a patient of Norman Waterhouse and his direct and clear manner of explaining issues is reflected in this book, which is extremely useful background reading for anyone either considering facial surgery or having it, whether for purely cosmetic reasons or because of facial disfigurement.
Other useful books might be the Atul Gawande series on the medical profession and Eileen Bradbury's book Counselling people with disfigurement
