Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Botox, the anti-aging miracle heralded by the fashion editors and plastic surgeons alike, has sparked a bumper crop of books and articles advising prospective patients on how the FDA-approved drug can turn back the clock by smoothing out wrinkles with a few relatively painless injections. While many health and beauty magazines have tackled the subject, this comprehensive, well researched volume covers the relatively new territory quite thoroughly and with the appropriate degree of seriousness (Mitchell calls upon the expertise of many different physicians throughout). Everything from the basics of finding the right doctor and examining risks to guidelines on how to assess a prospective patient's state of mind (the author warns against Botox for those suffering from depression) are discussed in a straightforward, intelligent manner. For those considering making that call to their dermatologist, this book, with its user-friendly Q&A sections, glossary of terms and resource list, should answer virtually any question about Botox and make for an extremely knowledgeable patient.
