No one is immune to the attraction of facial beauty. Today, we are fortunate to have at out disposal, for the first time in history, a variety of procedures that can start to deliver the long-promised illusion of youth.
In this volume, the first in the four-part
Ideal Look
series, Dr. Swanson acts as a guide to cosmetic surgery in the 21st century. Whether it's Botox®, laser resurfacing, or fat injection, the author addresses the questions asked by women and men as they try to make sense of the still largely smoke-and-mirrors world of cosmetic products and treatments. Does this procedure work? How much discomfort will I have? Do I need time off work? Am I likely to be satisfied with the result? Until now, such basic questions have rarely been given the credible, evidence-based answers they deserve.
Dr. Swanson helps you sift through the marketing and hype. With 20 years of experience practicing cosmetic surgery, and a commitment to giving patients the facts, he provides the answers, both the good and the bad, without glossing over complications. Dr. Swanson believes that results today should be good enough to stand on their own, without artificial embellishment or embarrassing salesmanship. Actual patients and unadorned photographs reveal genuine results.
