interesting by H. Rotheuser (Long Island, NY)  4 Stars
July 28, 2005
I think this book was pretty thorough when it comes to plastic surgery. The pictures are helpful too. I think it needed a bit more information on dermatological services that can be obtained instead of or in addition to the surgery.
