Reeks of bias, dishonest attempt to scare the public
I read a lot of non-fiction books, and this is the worst one I've read in quite some time.I would have abandoned it several times except that I'd promised a friend I'd read it. This was a valuable book for me.
I think anyone who is considering cosmetic surgery should read this book. It can help a great deal with all of the decisions you have to make. Most of all, even if you should undergo the surgery. ... Read more

This book is a must-read for anyone who is having surgery!
In preparation for surgery to repair a brain aneurysm, I searched for a book through Amazon.com.Using the keywords "surgery and recovery," I discovered this book.It was the best purchase I could have possibly made.Kaye Olson has carefully and thoroughly written a guide covering what should be done to get ready for the surgery, come through the procedure successfully, and make a complete recovery.Every page is filled with pratical advice, tips, exercises, and suggestions.My confidence in a positive outcome was dramatically increased before the operation, and I was less afraid.I continue to use the exercises and suggestions as I go through the recovery period.The book is easy to read, well-written, thoroughly researched, and very comprehensive. ...

What Every Smiler Already Knows and Every Frowner Should
This book should be looked at by every person who is thinking about having cosmetic or esthetic dentistry done.
most comprehensive selfassessment book in cosmetic dentisty
This book is an excellent description of the extensive renge of issues dealing with changing the appearance of a patient's smile. The book is clear about its objectives and is very easy for anyone to read and follow.After reading this book, patients can easily decide whether they are candidates for cosmetic dentistry and get a reasonably good idea of the procedures involved.The author has discussed several treatment options for every situation, and he has included self-evaluations for patients to use in making informed decisions. An introductory chapter of relating the smile to the entire face presents a unique perspective. Dr. Goldstein discusses contemporary interdisciplinary approaches in creating different aesthetic effects. The explanations are accompanied by excellent illustrations that demonstrate the changes possible by procedures in modern dentistry and medicine. Often the patient and the doctors are not on the same page as far as the patient's chief complaint is concerned.This may lead to a situation in which the treatment provided may be superior; however, the treatment did not address the patient's chief complaint, leading to the patient's being dissatisfied.This book may provide the critical link to complete the communication circuit between the doctor and the patient.After reading it, patients can have a better understanding of their problems, the steps required to address these problems, and the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure.Further, details of expenses provide the consumer with an idea of the financial commitment involved. In summary, this 324-page hardcover book with 575 high quality illustrations is the most comprehensive and clear presentation of an important self-assessment tool used in cosmetic dentistry. A must-read for patients, students, and clinicians involved with cosmetic dentistry.......reviewed for the Journal of the American Dental Association by Dr. Pramod K. Sinha, Assistant Professor, Univ. of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, April l99

This is the ultimate consumer guide to cosmetic dentistry
This book lets you analyze your smile and come up with the most practical solutions for whatever smile problem you have.There doesn't seem to be anything left out of the cosmetic problems and solutions to a better smile.....and a more attractive face as well.This is because there are chapters that involve the role of facial plastic surgery, orthognathic(done by the oral surgeon) surgery, and cosmetology.It contains a simple smile analysis in the first chapter and logically helps you understand what your problem or problems are.It is easy to comprehend what your choices are because both the patient photographs and illustrations areso easy to understand.In each treatment summary the author describes not only what the result can look like but more importantly, the maintenance required with each restoration as well as a realistic range of fees and life expectancy. Too often peoplefail to get what they want mostly because they really don't know what they want,and they don't know how to get it. The best way is to take this book with you to your dentist!!! ...

Dr. Maloney didn't write it?
Why the deception?Why would a doctor of Robert Maloney's supposed stature deceive his patients and prospective patients into thinking he's the author of this book?
THANK YOU DR MALONEY FOR YOUR BOOK
A friend who had the LASIK surgery with Dr Maloney told me to order this book. Not only did I read this book...Dr Maloney performed my LASIK surgery a few weeks later. He is an excellent surgeon.I took my book with me tomy first appointment and Dr Maloney ACTUALLY took the time to explainspecific written information and diagrams directly from his book. The bestis Chapter 5...if you arethinking of having LASIK, order this book andyou willSEE what I am talking about.

Review Of Book
I found this to be very informative, both on the procedure as well as the doctors. I especially appreciated chapter 5, how to choose a surgeon. There are many surgeons out there who make huge promises - how does one choose? ... Read more

A great low-down from an expert
This book has the simple to read feel that a non-clinician needs but with all the detail you would ever want to make an informed decision about plastic surgery.The drawings and pictures make it more accessible to those of us without MDs after our names.It is clear that lots of people are unhappy with their bodies, and Dr. Copeland makes no bones about legitimizing those complaints.It's refreshing to finally read that it's OK to take that extra step in order to feel good about yourself.
