The wealth of information is impressive, and the underlying research accurate and complete.

Dr Nigel Carver
Consultant Plastic Surgeon
PPS Health, London, UK
“The thoroughness of this book might give some the impression of information overload or of negativity. I would counter that it simply has its feet on the solid ground of well balanced fact and evidence. Moreover it is a counterbalance to the over embellished accounts of surgery in the media that surrounds us. In short it is realistic and has sound ethical integrity. More complete information can only lead to better outcomes. The reader is also guided to ask the questions necessary to select, indeed challenge, the surgeon for them. For ultimately, even with all the information, the quality of the result will depend on the surgeon technical ability and experience. I wish this publication every success.”
