The number of people turning to cosmetic surgery are legion,
and those numbers are increasing. As baby boomers are aging, they are turning to
cosmetic surgery, but so are younger people wanting to improve their looks.
Cosmetic surgery is no longer the province of the wealthy. While the media
focuses on stars who take advantage of these improved procedures, taking out
second mortgages, paying with credit cards, saving up to make it happen,
Americans in all walks of life are turning to cosmetic surgery to enhance their
looks. Cosmetic surgery is no longer thought of as self-indulgent or frivolous;
instead, it is considered an enhancement which can facilitate everything from
better job prospects to better self-esteem. In her new book, COSMETIC SURGERY:
Before, Between and After, master makeup artist Susan Gail uses her 22 years of
experience working with reconstructive surgeons, dermatologists, psychiatrists
and psychologists as well as her own recent foray into plastic surgery to give
her readers an up-close look at the process. Honest, plain-spoken and often
funny, Susan addresses everything from choosing the right doctor to post surgery
sex! Endorsed by some of the best cosmetic surgeons in the country, COSMETIC
SURGERY: Before, Between and After is a must-read for anyone contemplating
plastic surgery.
From the Author
My willingness to tell the world that I had a facelift was
relevant to my future. You have to admit that most people don't go shouting from
rooftops," Hey, look at me! I just got nipped and tucked!" I believe
that what makes my book unique is because my 15 Steps tell you exactly what you
need to know to help you get the specific results you want from your own
cosmetic surgery. In these pages, you will receive some fantastic insights about
cosmetic surgery as a means to an end. Written with integrity and humor, it's straight
from the hip, like your best friend talking to you. After 20 years, I've seen
the good, the bad, the ugly and just about everything in between. Cosmetic
surgery can be a blessing. It can also be a curse. Read this book. Absorb the
reality-based facts and decide for yourself. If you can do that by the end of
these pages, and my goal is that you will, then we both will have succeeded. May
all your angels, spiritual guides and higher beings assist you in your decision
making. They certainly did in mine. You're not alone anymore!
