Do I need it? and what if I do?

the long version

Even if you're just thinking about plastic surgery, you'll benefit from this book, which tells you exactly what you want to know--starting with the key question: Do I need it? If your answer is yes, you'll welcome the insider advice from a plastic surgery consultant who has observed hundreds of procedures and formerly counseled thousands of pre-and post-surgery patients for one of New York's premier plastic surgeons. Among the topics she covers: Where do I find a surgeon? What should I ask? How much will it cost? What are the risks? Will I scar? Is there pain? How long does healing take? Will I still look like me? Should I tell? With simple language, a reassuring attitude and a touch of humor, Francesca Camp makes the process less intimidating and offers practical advice you won-t find anywhere else--from estimating a truly realistic timetable to choosing the right bedding for your recuperation. --
