A Necessary Staple When Making A Serious Decision

I'm going through a difficult decision in regard to breast augmentation. I have now read this book twice. It's clear and helpful. The interesting aspect that Dr. Freund brought into the book that beauty is regional. What works in LA doesn't work in New York. It's interesting, informative and I'm reading it again.

SOLID, INFORMATIVE, ESSENTIAL & Ethical

This book gives you the facts, from a doctor who is ethical, descent, and talented. I have first hand experiemce as to Dr. Freund dedication, I know him, and this book is representative of how he practices and his strong and qualitative committment to his patients. If you are considering breast surgery this book is essential.

Great guide for patients and their family members...

This book is wonderful. It offers an honest look at all types of breast surgery, the possible outcomes, risks, etc. I think that it is helpful to both the patient considering the procedure as well as their loved ones (parents, husbands) who may have questions about what will happen.

easy reading guide for breast enlargement, lift or reduction

This is the best book on the subject. There are several books on plastic surgery that cover plastic surgery in a cursory fashion. There are also some books that cover a small aspect of breast surgery. This book coveres all topics in cosmetic breast surgery, including breast enlargement, breast reduction, breast lift and breast reconstruction. It is easy reading and has chapters for parents advising there teens. Its worth it!
