The Makeover Myth (English, Hardcover, Snodgrass Bethanne)

"The Makeover Myth" blows the lid off the idea of cosmetic surgery as a quick, safe way to change your appearance. This is the book any intelligent patient will need to avoid falling prey to the many fallacies of cosmetic surgery promoted on reality TV shows. "The Makeover Myth" provides you with information and tools to help you get past the glitz, learn about cosmetic medical care realities, and find a capable physician who has your best interests at heart. Dr. Snodgrass draws on her years of clinical experience to address issues such as: the misinformation portrayed in reality shows like "Extreme Makeover" and "The Swan"; the risks and complications that your doctor may not tell you and that you certainly won't hear about on the reality shows; the truth about the proliferation of physicians performing cosmetic surgery and related procedures who were not trained in plastic surgery residencies; the most common procedures, medical and non-prescription products and other hot topics in cosmetic medicine; and what really matters when you choose your provider and place of service. "The Makeover Myth" is the ultimate guide to understanding the treatment options.
