Disappointed with the content
I was looking forward to reading this book. If you are looking for general information on all procedures then you found it. I was disappointed with lack of specific information and the pictures. You can easily find the broad knowledge presented in this book on the Internet. I wouldn't recommend this to someone is trying to research a particular procedure they are interested in.

AMAZING & INFORMATIVE
Very well organized, direct and easy to read. Describes how to pick a reputable surgeon, explains procedures, what to expect and includes pitfals to procedures. Lots of before after pictures. The author does a great job at presenting the information.

be an informed patient or loved one
Recommended to three types of readers:

(a) People considering having cosmetic surgery.

(b) People with loved ones considering or have received cosmetic surgery.

(b) People purely curious about cosmetic surgery.

The first few chapters describe medical training (e.g., board certification), health care environments (e.g., office vs. hospital), and patient qualifications (e.g., as healthy as possible). These chapters emphasize the importance of choosing an appropriate medical team. If the logic does not convince you, then the scary monochrome and color photographs will.

The remaining chapters explain various treatments, such as face-lifting and liposuction. Questions such as: Will there be pain? Will my skin turn red, and if so, for how long? How much will it cost? are answered candidly.

The book will help you become an informed patient, or a loved one of a patient.

A Must-Read!
As an update to her first book, Dr. Jean Loftus's new book is not only a timely source for "what's out there now" on new plastic surgery techniques, but also a good basic refresher for anyone considering plastic surgery. I read her first book about one year after publication, and looked forward to this new book, when I learned it was "in the works". It did not disappoint me, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is even remotely thinking about plastic surgery. I particularly appreciated the straightforward advice about when one should not consider a particular procedure, and the abundance of diagrams and "before and after" photos. This book is a clear and easy read, and arms the patient with right questions to ask the plastic surgery duirng the initial consultation.

Surgical intervention
I read this avidly, but was shocked that she left out a MAJOR woman's plastic surgery: brachioplasty. Not even mentioned. For most women, a major source of concern: that flab under your upper arm. Other than that omission, a "thumbs up" review. Concise, thorough, informative. No need to rush into surgery uninformed: this is a good resource on how to do your homework.

Great book, Great surgeon
I highly recommend this book, especially if you are considering breast augmentation. The book is full of valuable information to anyone considering plastic surgery. I can not only speak of the book, I can speak of Dr. Loftus. She is an outstanding doctor who is able to put a woman at ease, listen to her goals and expectations, and deliver incredible results. Dr. Loftus is an expert in her field and has a stellar reputation in our area.

Please Don't Waste Your Money!!!!!
Okay since I bought this book because of all the 5 star reviews it got here I'd like to send others a warning. This is NOT a 5 star book!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel foolish having wasted my money on this. Oh yeah and to add insult to injury, you can go to the author's website and get the same exact information plus colored photos as opposed to black/white found in the book. Anyone considering plastic surgery shouldn't bother with this book. You will get the same exact information in a consultation with a plastic surgeon or off numerous sites on the internet. DO NOT BOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure wish I was warned.

For Basic Knowledge
The Smart Womans Guide to Plastic Surgery educates readers with basic knowledge of plastic surgery. I feel like some chapters are rushed and short. For example, the neck and face lift chapter is short and not as explanatory as breast surgery or liposuction. This book also has positive stories of women and plastic surgery. However, I wish that their was negative stories of women and plastic surgery. That way these readers can get a better idea if they want plastic surgery or not. I will say that chapter 1 is the best. Chapter 1 is the best, because it explains the scams plastic surgeons can fool people with. WHICH IS VERY SHOCKING!

Great Magazine
This glossy, photo filled magazine does not have articles in the traditional sense. Instead it divides topics into categories and provides basic, important, and interesting information about each topic supplemented with lots of product recommendations. At first you might think that this non-traditional way of presenting information wouldn't teach you anything, but at second glance you realize that you received a great introduction to all the topics presented. I like that some of the products presented have both a review by a "normal" person and by an "expert" - doctor, esthetician, etc. Though subjects vary in each issue there is always information about skincare, cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, hair, make-up, and fitness/diet. I always learn something new when reading New Beauty. One thing does bother me about New Beauty, and the reason why I am giving it 4 stars and not 5, is that lots of different products are presented in the magazine with a text that reads like the marketing or PR release about the product. So though New Beauty can be a great source for learning about what new products are out there I would do a little more research on the products that are presented without a review before buying them. Bottom Line: A fun read that teaches you a lot along the way.

Beauty compendium of the latest technological breakthroughs
This is a new concept in a beauty magazine and it is a rather interesting one. "New Beauty" is published seasonally and focuses not only on the presentation of the best new products but also, and mainly, offers a vast array of resources for all types of plastic surgery and cosmetic
enhancement of both body and dentistry. The options are broad, and range from the simplest dermatological procedures to the most advanced plastic and re-constructive surgery techniques. The magazine counts in its panel of consultants with personalities like Dr. Nicholas Perricone, Dermatologist Fredric Brandt, and hairdresser par excellence Frederic Fekkai.

In its second half, "New Beauty" includes a full directory of providers who, true to the magazine's headquarters, are located mostly in the state of Florida. Each specialist is offered a spreadfold in the magazine, which not only explains the techniques he or she performs, but also informs the reader of their personal background and past times when they are not in the office.

Twice a year, "New Beauty" is sold along with a test package of products for the convenient price of $19.99. A gift card in the amount of $20 is part of the package, to be redeemed at the magazine's shopping website offering thousands of wonderful products - an unbeatable deal. The latest issue came with a sampling of the new Lancaster sun line in the US. One of the articles happened to be on one of my favorite topics when it comes to personal beauty and grooming, how to choose and apply a fragrance.

"New Beauty" is available in bookstores nationwide as well as in Nordstrom stores when in its sample edition.

THE best magazine ever, period.
This is by far the most interesting, informative, researched publication I have ever seen. I am a licensed aesthetician and look forward to every issue to let me know about the new products, ingredients, and procedures out in the industry today. I would recommend this magazine to anyone interested in skincare or plastic surgery as each issue is packed full of information. The wait between issues is long, but with so much research in each issue, well worth the wait!

So much more than I expected!
I picked up NewBeauty the other day to learn more about Botox since I am considering getting it. I had no idea that Botox can be used for more than one thing, which the magazine explained. It was very interesting.

NewBeauty also does a great job of giving over the counter options (that you can buy at Sephora and other stores)as an alternative to surgery and other treatments. I'm definitely going to try the cream recommended for spider veins.

Thank you NewBeauty for educating me on all the great products and procedures out there. I'm definitely getting a subscription!
