Though cosmetic breast surgery is most commonly an elective procedure, it is an important, irreversible decision that demands careful consideration. In Cosmetic Breast Surgery, distinguished plastic surgeon Robert M. Freund -- who has worked on the breasts of thousands of women in his private and public New York City practices -- offers clear explanations and sensitive advice for women curious about having their breasts enlarged, reduced, or lifted. In a factual, conversational tone, Dr. Freund -- recently named one of New York's leading plastic surgeons by New York magazine -- candidly discusses all of the risks and rewards involved, different operating procedures and options, the right and wrong reasons to have surgery, choosing the right surgeon, pre- and postoperative care, and what to do if a procedure goes wrong. Written with a woman's best interest in mind, Cosmetic Breast Surgery provides photographs throughout and is essential reading for all women considering breast surgery. - Publisher.
