Book Reviews of Cosmetic Surgery For Dummies

Book Review: interesting
Summary: 4 Stars

I think this book was pretty thorough when it comes to plastic surgery. The pictures are helpful too. I think it needed a bit more information on dermatological services that can be obtained instead of or in addition to the surgery.
