There are supposedly more cosmetic surgeons in some cities, than there are practicing general practitioners, or even medical specialists? Why is this so? This book is going to tell you all about cosmetic surgery, and why people have some preconceived notions about it. Also, it is going to tell you all about surgical methods, which are practiced by reconstructive aesthetic surgeons – the new terminology for cosmetic surgeons – in order to make you look more youthful, beautiful, or just plain different. Many people know about one of the scariest socialites in the USA. She has spent $4 million in the past 10 years and more so that she can look more like a cat instead of a human being. Her justification for spending all this money, in spoiling a perfectly once beautiful face and making it look grotesque and weird, is that her multimillionaire husband loves big cats, and she wants to keep him interested in her. So that is why she is looking for that perpetual feline look. Any woman who can go to these limits in order to keep the fickle interest of Mr. Multi-Bank Accounts is definitely suffering from an infinity complex or she does not have anything constructive to do with her time. But this seems to please her. It also gets her plenty of attention because I think she enjoys the gawking audience staring at her and wondering how one could prefer to look so ugly. Especially when some of her surgical procedures made certain that she did not need a costume on Halloween in order to scare the kiddies. So, here we come to these points – do you really need plastic surgery? What are the psychological aspects of this surgery on the psyche of a human being? What is the difference between cosmetic and plastic surgery? This book is going to tell you all about reconstructive plastic surgery, and its steadily gaining importance in the life and times of beauty obsessed human beings. Cosmetic surgery has become such a booming business, just because of good PR. The demand for some people to look like a popular concept of beauty is being encouraged by media people, as well as the surgeons themselves, so that more and more people go in for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
