Product Description:
The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to Cosmetic Surgery will give those contemplating cosmetic surgery up-to-date information on today's most common procedures, including: what they cost, what's involved-with before and after photos, how to prepare - physically, mentally, and financially, potential risks and side effects, and how the healing process occurs. Readers will also learn what to look for when selecting a doctor, how to avoid hidden costs, and what questions to ask in order to optimize their chances of a successful outcome.

Rated by buyers -
I'm considering plastic surgery and ordered 3 books to research it. This book, at [$$], was a total waste of money. I guess thats one of the problems buying a book online-you can't page thru it and see how material is presented. Had I been at a bookstore, this book would have quickly gone back on the shelf.
The style of writing, the 'oh too cute' notes and cartoons, the lack of serious content and presentation are insulting to a mature person. Who wants to look at cartoons-my body isn't a cartoon! I wanted to see pictures of real people who have had real surgeries, not line drawings.
The Complete Idiots Guide is just that-for idiots and not for a serious contemplation of a potential life changing surgery procedure. The authors think liposuction is the cure for 75% of plastic surgery issues.
Even worse, the specific topic I bought this book to learn about was given 1 paragraph consisting of "Don't do this". Maybe these doctors don't like to do 'Tummy /Tucks' but they are done world-wide for valid reasons.
Not every potential patient is looking for "Plastic Surgery Lite" but in need of information presented in a truly useful manner.
Total waste of time and money.
BTW- the best of the books I have purchased so far are: Dr. Marfuggi"-Plastic Surgery-What you need to know" and Dr Loftus-"The smart womans guide to Plastic Surgery".
