Renowned Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Robert Kotler, not only guides you through the entire decision process -- he also dispels many common myths and misconceptions about face and body surgery. Dr. Kotler reveals: Why some celebrities look so bad after cosmetic surgery. That most surgical fees are negotiable -- and while sky-high fees do not guarantee superior results, low-ball fees may not be a bargain. Why some self-proclaimed "cosmetic surgeons" are poorly trained, unqualified and may be learning-on-you. How some medications, vitamins and herbs can speed healing while others are dangerous, including the 136 you do not want to take. That the "big risk" is not the operation; it's the anesthetic. Why you need to know who's "at the controls..." Book jacket.

Plastic surgery is a field we all think we know well from reality shows like Extreme Makeover and Dr. 90210. But do we really? Only this doctor can tell you what it's all about. His truths will shock you, his rules will inform you, and his revelations could save you. A well-established, dynamic plastic surgeon at the top of his game, Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc lets you into his private practice, where the stakes are rising every day, and answers the burning questions. What should you know about a doctor's training? Do you know the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction, and who is more suited for which? Have you ever imagined what mistakes a doctor has made and whether they can be corrected? He reveals the lies patients tell him and the lengths to which celebrities go to maintain anonymity in the waiting room. He shatters the myths surrounding post-operative recovery. And much, much more. Dr. Lorenc not only supplies the answers but analyzes what increasingly drives people in our youth- and beauty-obsessed culture--women and men alike--to request his services. With nuance and knowledge, he scrutinizes every detail of this fascinating yet imperfect science. This is the book for anyone who is thinking--even just a little--about getting plastic surgery.

Why are only certain people considered physically beautiful? What is it - specifically - within their anatomy that these lucky few individuals possess that most of us simply do not? Can we somehow objectively test our own anatomy for beauty and then use our test results as a guide to change our physical appearance? Can we join this highly elite group of physically beautiful people? Dr. Andrew Hayduke's groundbreaking book is the first of its kind to explore a potential scientific explanation for why only certain faces and breasts appear physically beautiful. After decades of experience as a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and Palm Springs, California, Dr. Hayduke shares his unique perspective on this fascinating subject. The Golden Ratio Within the Human Face and Breast unveils the mysterious underlying secret blueprint for human physical beauty that exists hidden deep within the anatomic layout of attractive (i.e., beautiful) faces and breasts. The Golden Ratio Within the Human Face and Breast will:1) Convince you to look beyond the expression "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and consider something far more intriguing as the true explanation for physical beauty. 2) Provide evidence that beauty is an objective quality rather than a mere subjective opinion. 3) Provide an all-access backstage pass to the secret clinical analysis methodologies used by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. 4) Illustrate how the faces and breasts of average-looking people can be transformed to a more beautiful appearance with the help of Dr. Hayduke's state-of-the-art facial and breast beauty tests. 5) Disclose a detailed description of the once-secret inner mechanism of both the Hayduke Facial Analysis test and the Hayduke Breast Analysis test-including the exact specifications of each anatomic test grid used within Dr. Hayduke's patented beauty analysis methodologies. 6)Explain the basics of the golden ratio (also known as the divine proportion, golden section, golden mean, golden proportion, divine section and golden number). 7) Illustrate how the golden ratio relationship of 1.618 to 1.0 is secretly hidden within many beautiful world-famous works of art, architecture, logos, and even nature.
