Health Books about plastic surgery


What is plastic-surgery?

The principal areas of plastic surgery include two broad fields.
  • Reconstructive surgery, including microsurgery, which focusses on undoing or masking the destructive effects of trauma, surgery or disease. Such surgery may include closing defects by transplantion of tissue from other parts of the body.
  • Cosmetic (or aesthetic) surgery, which most is often done to change features the patient finds unflattering. In a few cases, however, there may be medical reasons (for example, breast reduction when orthopedic problems are present).

Praise for Confessions of a Park Avenue Plastic Surgeon
I went to a plastic surgeon in New York City for my liposuction and then read Dr. Lesesne's book. After reading Confessions of a Park Avenue Plastic surgeon, I've decided to book my next procedure with Dr. Lesesne. Clearly, Dr. Lesesne is one of New York's top plastic surgeons and a true expert in his field. His book was very endearing and forthcoming and really helped clarify what to expect before undergoing any procedure. I'd recommend this book to those considering any type of plastic surgery.
A Great Read
I just read Confessions of a Park Avenue Plastic Surgeon and thought it was a great book. It gives you a real insight of what a plastic surgeon goes through behind the scenes from day-to-day. Some of the patient stories were funny. The one about the man who wanted breasts on his back so his lover would have something to hold onto had me hysterical. I think this book is very informative for anyone thinking of having plastic surgery. You read about the roads that Dr. Lesesne traveled to get where he is today. I would recommend this book to everyone.

On a personal level, I had breast reduction surgery performed by Dr. Lesesne in November of 2005. I put off having surgery for over 10 years because I was so scared. Dr. Lesesne came highly recommended to me by my boss. After meeting Dr. Lesesne and seeing what a great doctor he is, I knew he was the right doctor to do my surgery. The results are wonderful. My back and neck pain is all but gone. It has definitely changed the way I look at myself. If it were not for Dr. Lesesne I would never have had the courage to go through with the surgery.

After reading this book and having had surgery with Dr. Lesesne I can tell you that he is a sincere, honest, nice man and a brilliant surgeon. Read the book!!!!!!
Genius or Genie
Dr Lesesne's book is astonishing and sweet. He whisks you around the globe to meet his glamorous and powerful patients then back home with him, as a boy, aspiring to emulate his Father's noble hometown practice. Who knew a midwestern bookworm could grant the wishes we all desire... to look on the outside the way we know we are on the inside, certainly not him . Can it be that those of position and power deep-down are just like you and me? Well Dr Lesesne does a great job uncovering the answer while making you laugh out loud at his patients antics. Genius or genie, Dr. Lesesne's book is wildly entertaining and at the same time insightful and educational. Want to know if plastic surgery could be for you? read the book.

Want to know how I know? Cap and my big brother went to prep school and college together. He told me years ago I could be happier about my nose, it took 25 years to make an appointment at his Park Avenue office. A day after the surgery I looked in the mirror and saw the person I'd always wanted to see. Until reading his book I had no idea the calibre of patients ,who looking in that same mirror, shared my delight and gratitude...he never breathed a word.
