  Reviews: "Interest in cosmetic plastic surgery is at an all-time high. On television and radio, in magazines, and on the Internet there are programs, stories, and information about cosmetic plastic surgery. Much of this information is helpful. Unfortunately, some of it is not. Independent studies on patient interest indicate that the number of people considering cosmetic plastic surgery is very high. Because of this high level of interest, and the amount of sometimes confusing information, the need to have better informed cosmetic plastic surgery patients has never been greater. Fortunately, Diane Gerber, MD and Marie Czenko Kuechel have written Jones and Bartlett Self Help Health Guides Plastic Surgery"
