Customer Reviews

Very comprehensive and informative!!

Dr. Henry has written a great book for men and women! This resource answered all of my questions and gave me answers to questions I didn't even know I had! It was extremely helpful...tells the history of cosmetic facial surgery as well as gives insights into emotional and psychological reasons it is "OK" to go ahead with cosmetic procedures. It thoroughly made me aware of all of the various procedures done today as well as what to expect from each one - costs, recovery time, etc. After reading this book I felt very comfortable with the information and am now able to use it to make some decisions about myself. If you are thinking about any type of facial cosmetic surgery, this book is for you!
