The Smart Woman's Guide to Plastic Surgery (ALL OTHER HEALTH)

This book is one of the best books that is easy to read and understand by a patient who is planning to do a plastic surgery. It explains in simple way what the surgery is, expected side effects, what could go wrong, and estimated cost. In addition, it gives you the methods currently available for your case and what are the pros and cons of each, in order to help you decide which method is most suitable for you. I strongly recommend you read this book if you are planning for any plastic surgery of any type in the future before you meet with your doctor. Yes, before you meet with your doctor.

Great book and very good information about what you need to know. I am happy with this book.

I checked this book out of the library and read it from cover to cover. This book answered my questions about plastic surgery and I felt confident that I was equipped to walk into any plastic surgeon's office and decide whether that was the surgeon for me based on Dr. Loftus' recommendations as to what to look for in a surgeon and what questions to ask. Dr. Loftus also keeps up to date on the latest plastic surgery procedures and sorts out fact from fiction. I recommend this book to anyone seeking plastic surgery. You will not be disappointed. In addition, I just bought two copies from Amazon. One for my bookshelf and one for our local library.

The Smart Womans Guide to Plastic Surgery educates readers with basic knowledge of plastic surgery. I feel like some chapters are rushed and short. For example, the neck and face lift chapter is short and not as explanatory as breast surgery or liposuction. This book also has positive stories of women and plastic surgery. However, I wish that their was negative stories of women and plastic surgery. That way these readers can get a better idea if they want plastic surgery or not. I will say that chapter 1 is the best. Chapter 1 is the best, because it explains the scams plastic surgeons can fool people with. WHICH IS VERY SHOCKING!

I read this avidly, but was shocked that she left out a MAJOR woman's plastic surgery: brachioplasty. Not even mentioned. For most women, a major source of concern: that flab under your upper arm. Other than that omission, a "thumbs up" review. Concise, thorough, informative. No need to rush into surgery uninformed: this is a good resource on how to do your homework.
