From the Author
This is my 10th book since 2000 about beauty, anti-ageing and cosmetic surgery. The field has changed so much during this time that I really wanted to capture the newest developments and trends. It is almost a full time job just to stay on top of the technologies, products, and choices available. I hope this comprehensive guide will give my readers an overview of the best that science has to offer, help them sort through the hype, and offer a taste of the chats I have with my private clients. My goal is to streamline the entire process so it is less overwhelming and scary. We start by doing the research, and then review the planning, selection, aftercare, recovery and maintenance so they have the best possible experience and look and feel great about themselves. I hope that my readers will curl up in a comfortable chair with a cup of tea (or a glass of cabernet) and their personal copy of Plastic Makes Perfect for a good juicy read.

Stay gorgeous!

Plastic Makes perfect
A very interesting read which goes into all the pros and cons of having 'work' done. Will use it as a reference should I ever decide to go down that route! Good price and arrived quickly.

a fun read!!!
This was a really light read that made me smile throughout, but it was also meaty and filled with excellent beauty advice. I recommend it to every lady who wants to be her most beautiful self and just needs or wants a little help to get there. Three cheers!

the Ulitmate Beauty Bible!
I read about this book in a magazine at my hairdresser and made a note to check it out. I bought it last week and finished it in less than 72 hours. I was gripped! It was like all your best girlfriends most amazing advice and then some. I have learned so much not just about the expected nip & tuck advice but about make up,slincare, nutrition, -- you name it Miss Lewis has some amazing advice. I really cannot recommend this book strongly enough. I have told all the girls at work and have already seen a few pink covers peeking out of their handbags. Do not leave home without it!
