Cosmetic Surgery Today

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 today’s aesthetic plastic surgeons have their origins in places
and cultures as remote as ancient Egypt and Rome. Never before, however, has
aesthetic plastic surgery been so safe, so affordable, and, unfortunately, so
fraught with risk and misinformation. It can be overwhelming, if not
impossible, to obtain accurate, unbiased information about this rapidly
changing field.
In Cosmetic Surgery Today, one of Europe’s leading plastic surgeons shares
valuable insider’s knowledge and offers advice gathered over decades in
practice.
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.
