Editorial Review:
Prospective cosmetic surgery patients confused by media-driven hype and glitz will find a clear road map to selecting the best doctors and the most appropriate and safe procedures in this handy companion. Supplying patients with savvy queries only a veteran cosmetic surgeon would have the insight to ask, the book outlines the seven key questions people must ask themselves before contacting a cosmetic surgeon, a method for quickly eliminating practitioners through screening calls, and the critical questions to ask during the consultation itself. Handy checklists for the most popular procedures, anesthesia, and surgical facilities; anatomical sketches to assist doctors in identifying what they will do and where they will do it; and a comprehensive ratings quiz help patients evaluate which practitioner best suits their needs. Those concerned with the financial aspects of the procedures will find the cost calculation worksheet and directory of companies that finance cosmetic surgery particularly useful.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - could help seeking a surgeon
I found it to be helpful but a little confusing also. Hard to find cosmetic surgeon that would fit the doctors orders. Also, even if you get the book the leg work and interviewing is a long process.
Rating:  - GREAT
This is a must for any consultation or if your considering surgery. It helps you weed out underqualfied DRs. & ask important in depth questions. I took this on my consultations & its great. Anyone who is going to have plastic surgery should READ THIS BOOK.
Rating: - Handy workbook
I ordered this book a few weeks ago and took it for a test run the other day when I had my first consultation for breast augmentation. The book did exactly what it promises to. It helped keep the consultation focused. It supplied the questions for me to ask and helped me to feel empowered. I definitely recommend this book.
Rating: - A Great Companion!
A very clever and unique concept. I understand why Dr. Kotler has a reputation as a good teacher. Keep in mind that this book does not replace standard, resource-like, "cover-it-all" books. Ideally, you need one of those books + this one. Then, I believe you will be well-equipped for a meaningful consultation. The line drawings are really good. I highly recommended this as an adjunct to - but not a replacement for - other cosmetic surgery books.
Rating:  - helpful if you need to choose a surgeon
This book is helpful for picking a surgeon only. I find word of mouth to be helpful, too, but a little hard to get because of the delicate nature of the subject matter. If you're looking for any other advice, this is not the guide for you, however. It only helps you pick the surgeon. I had so many questions, and this book did not address any of them.
