"Cosmetic Surgery for Dummies" - a book review

I wanted to give a big "two thumbs up" to this book by Marie Olesen, which is part of the "For Dummies" series which now seems to include almost any topic one could ask for. It's written for prospective patients - no, it's not some sort of introductory level text for interns! :)

Marie, who is well-known in the plastic surgery world for her consulting expertise, has written a wonderful primer for patients. I think it is an excellent introduction to our field, and it explains answers to common questions - like how to choose a surgeon, how to prepare for surgery, and recovering after surgery. Popular cosmetic surgeries are reviewed, in a way that is honest, straightforward and informative.

Nicely done!!
