One of the country's top cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Alan Gaynor, is committed to helping people feel better about themselves. In this informative and accessible guide, he describes the newest laser procedures and explains why cosmetic surgery is now safer and more affordable than ever before. Clearly and comprehensively, Dr. Gaynor guides you through every type of cosmetic surgery - from face lifts and eye lifts to hair transplants and liposuction, he compares the older technology to the latest procedures. Dr. Gaynor also explains what each procedure entails, carefully outlines the risk and possible side effects, discusses the criteria for choosing a doctor, and provides questions you should ask at any consultation. Every procedure includes case studies and before-and-after photos of patients to help you find the procedure that best suits your needs, whether you've already had some work done or are new to the scene. "A clear and insightful look at a cosmetic surgery by a respected surgeon. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, this book should be required reading."--Sterling S. Baker, MD, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and inventor of the Laser Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)
Very thorough and some great "over the counter" advice

This book is a great read for anyone considering cosmetic surgery--you get clinical advice, but down home advice as well. It takes a lot of the confusion out of a subject that can be overwhelming, and scary. It is a nice writing style and easy to understand. I recommend another book, from a slightly different perspective-- "Cosmetic Surgery Without Fear" is written by a cosmetic surgery consumer advocate, and not a doctor. You get some information that many doctors may not divulge. You are also given the critical information to look for when selecting your doctor and resources to make sure you are avoiding the horror stories we all fear. Get them both, you have all the perspectives covered.
Here is book that lives up to its title!
