Secrets of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon is a must for anyone seriously considering surgery. The internet is good 4 general info, but if you want to know about choosing the right DR., evaluating before/after photos than this book is 4 you. It just brings up things, that you wouldn't think of, but is essential 4 having a successful surgery and making informed decisions.

must have by tommi (florida)  4 Stars
March 22, 2006
after researching dr.kotler and finding out how good he was,i went on amazon and found his book and all of the great reviews.being in a new state and not knowing anyone or anything i needed all of the help i could get.what a great result!you absolutely must read this book before doing anything.i am now 16 days post surgery and i am very pleased.i had a rhino and an upper eyelid.the only reason i gave the book a 4 rating is because the pain and healing are really underplayed by everyone including dr. kotler.although everyone is differant it was very painful and healing is slow.but i have a perfect nose and my eyes are great.you must,i repeat must read this book before having surgery.

If Only I'd read `The Secrets of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon' Prior to Surgery by pwc (San Diego) 5 Stars
September 15, 2005
I wish I'd read Dr. Kotler's book prior to having surgery. If I'd known half the important information in this book, I would have been better informed, researched differently, chosen a more appropriate doctor, and, ultimately, avoided the poor cosmetic surgery I received.
Dr. Kotler's book describes how to make the necessary choices when considering cosmetic surgery. His book steps the reader through the process of choosing and consulting with a qualified doctor; explains common surgical procedures and their distinctions, the viewing of before-and-after photos, and the necessity of computer imaging; clarifies how to assess surgical costs; covers considerations for operating facility choices, the administration of anesthesia, and the after-care patients should expect; as well as treatments for aging skin, FAQs about surgery, and so much more. Additionally, there are accompanying commentaries and before-and-after pictures from actual patients.
This is an easy to read book that covers all the fine points of cosmetic surgery. I spent many months researching cosmetic surgery and doctors before choosing a surgeon and agreeing with the procedure techniques he would use. Even with my careful study, there is so much that Dr. Kotler's book educates the reader on first, that I didn't discover or fully understand until after undergoing my own surgery.
Enhancement of one's personal appearance through cosmetic surgery should be a good thing, not a tragedy. The risk of not making an informed choice is too great. And you will not find many doctors who will fully explain their procedures, take the time educate you, answer your questions, or even tell you what questions you should be asking.
Dr. Kotler's book should be required reading for any one considering cosmetic surgery. It will make you a better-educated consumer and allow you to make the most informed research to choose the right cosmetic surgeon.

Super Book! by Jessica (San Francisco, CA) 5 Stars
August 11, 2005
I read this book and was compelled to write an on-line review having just recently finished it. This book if super if you are considering cosmetic surgery. In fact, I can't imaging how anyone could consider having surgery without reading this book first. I feel entirely prepared and ready to proceed after reading this book. I see that Dr. Kotler's next book, The Essential Cosmetic Surgery Companion, will be published this October. It appears to be a workbook for patients to take with to their consultation. I eagerly anticipate it publication. What a great idea for a another book!
