Cosmetic Surgery
Without Fear, How To Make Safe Choices and Informed Decisions
is the must-have resource
guide for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. It goes beyond the tired, worn
advice of selecting a board certified cosmetic surgeon. The information and
resources presented can dramatically increase the probability of a successful
surgical result. Individuals considering cosmetic surgery may be fearful,
confused, or just plain overwhelmed. Cosmetic Surgery Without Fear provides
a place to turn and is a compilation of diligent research and invaluable
patient information that can mean the difference between a positive and
negative experience. |
| |
|
| |
In understandable
language, Cosmetic Surgery Without Fear explains informed consent,
surgical options, emerging technology, physician selection criteria, facility
accreditation, procedures, and offers tips for recovery and much more. Cosmetic
Surgery Without Fear arms the prospective patient with information not
often disclosed by physicians. This is the definitive guide, backed by the
nation’s leading cosmetic surgery consumer advocacy company (Cosmetic Surgery
Consultants-CSC) which is staffed with professionals who can assist with one of
the most exciting and rewarding decisions one can make. CSC is the only
organization in the U.S. to develop and apply nationally accepted screening and
credentialing standards to cosmetic surgeons.

The author, Pat
Burgess, has 19 years of health care marketing, quality management experience,
and is a cosmetic surgery patient. Pat considers herself lucky since she never
asked her surgeon one question about his qualifications, even though her
background was in health care. She admits she was a bit intimidated, and that
it was her doctor’s beautiful office and gorgeous staff that caught her
attention. Although Pat had a positive experience with great results, she has
since spoken to many people who have not been as fortunate. This is what
compelled her to form her company and produce this book—a dedication to
assisting men and women in making safe, informed decisions and avoiding the
horror stories. |
