Book provides an interestng look behind the mask

Flaws and favorable features of physicians is focus of new book.
KNIGHT RIDDER
Much is written about cosmetic surgical procedures.
And as numbers of patients reach historic levels, doctors have become media hounds with a flurry of books and interview offers. Whether it is a specialist with a Hollywood clientele, one who has a line of anti-aging creams or one who participates in television makeover shows, they are seldom shy about publicity.
Now we see a different perspective. California image consultant Troi Martin who has worked in the plastic surgery field for 20 years, has produced a so-called inside-story book about the flaws and favorable features of the physicians in the field.
Consider "Behind the Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon's Mask" (BookSurge), a thin little book you can scan in less than an hour. It's not necessarily negative or positive. It does show people in the field are not the god-like creatures they seem to be. Some are good people. Some are bad. And sometimes they're in the same office.

UYour doctor is likely to minimize the recovery time.
UA common practice among cosmetic surgeons is "upselling," which is to encourage you to opt for a bigger procedure package with the promise of saving money on anesthesia or operating room.
