Just ok book

If I hadn't already read many books before this one about plastic surgery I might have thought this was a good book and very informative, however for me this book has basic information. I wish I had not purchased this book.

Fascinating

This book provides a frank, and eye opening discussion of popular cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. Definitely worth the effort to read if only "thinking" about undergoing a facial make over.

An excellent resource!

This book really summarizes and clarifies the process of undergoing facial plastic surgery in very plain terms. It is an excellent resource for my patients who are looking into facial cosmetic procedures. It not only describes what the procedures are, but explains why certian patients are better canidates for particular procedures, as well as what types of physicians should be doing them. I have purchased numerous copies of this book for my office, and reccommend it on a daily basis.

A MUST if you are considering surgery!!!

Whether you want to find out what facial treatments work in your 30's, or are 60 and considering a total facelift, this is the read you need. Dr. Jacono breaks it down to a level that is truly easy and fun to understand. I have been considering getting my upper eyelids done, but it seems that I would get my desired result from an endoscopic browlift. Reading this book has certainly been an "eye-opening" experience. I will definitely recommend it to anyone interested in improving their appearance whether from injectibles (Botox, Restylane) or surgery. I just love the "pearls of wisdom" sections throughout the book. Great read!

Great Book

I was thinking about having plastic surgery, but I could not figure out what procedure would help me look younger. This book really helped. It made sense.

Now I understand my options, what I want to do and how to find the right person to do it.

Thanks Dr. Jacono
