This review is from: Your Survival Guide to Cosmetic Surgery (Paperback)

Written by one of the country's most prominent and well known cosmetic surgeons, Dr. LaBruna has been surgeon to some of the most powerful and famous celebrities in the United States and abroad. From his practice at the New York Hospital and Weill Medical College of Cornell University in the heart of Manhattan, this book distills and dispenses Dr. Labruna's nearly two decades of experience gained from serving some of the world's most elite and demanding clientele. Now any patient can access these pearls of wisdom wherever they may be located, from finding a competent surgeon in their local region to what a patient may expect from particular cosmetic procedures. A patient-oriented advisory text for persons considering cosmetic surgery has been a notable unmet need in this field for some considerable time. This text is now the first of its type to meet this need exquisitely, and in such clear and concise language accessible to the layperson. This contribution is a true rare gem and a must read. That it is written by one of the field's most prominent and pivotal leaders makes it all the more remarkable and its recommendations all the more compelling. It is an instant seminal contribution to the field of cosmetic surgery that will endure for decades to come, benefiting future cosmetic surgery patients wherever they may be located. It is the text of first choice that I refer my patients to when they initially inquire about a possible cosmetic surgery procedure. It is highly recommend.

I have seen Dr. LaBruna's work and his true compassion for his patients. His skill translates into an essential guide for anyone considering plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is not a spa day it is real surgery and requires careful consideration and a skilled doctor. This book will help people make safer choices. A must read!
