Product Description

10 Years Younger, launched in April 2004, was the first lifestyle series on British television to feature cosmetic surgery. Since then, increased acceptability, availability and affordability have prompted a massive rise in the number of cosmetic procedures carried out each year in the UK, with that number set to top a quarter of a million in 2007. It is now believed that 45% of women and 37% of men in the UK would consider cosmetic surgery.

10 Years Younger has undoubtedly influenced the public's perception of cosmetic surgery and here, in the 10 Years Younger Cosmetic Surgery Bible, Jan Stanek openly and honestly discusses the pros and cons of each procedure. All aspects of each process are discussed - what it involves, who should consider it, what will it solve, what it won't solve, the cost, the potential risks, the potential reactions and the length of recovery. There are even before and after photos to show you what can be achieved. So, if you're considering a face lift, a boob job, a tummy tuck, or even just a Botox injection, this is the book for you.

From the Back Cover

Since 10 Years Younger first brought cosmetic surgery to the small screen in 2004, its increased acceptability, availability and affordability have made it one of the fastest-growing industries in the UK. But how much do we really know about the procedures on offer and how they are carried out?

What exactly is liposuction? Is collagen dangerous? How long does it take to recover from a facelift? How painful is a nose job? And how do you know which surgeons are certified?

Here, Jan Stanek, 10 Years Younger's resident cosmetic surgeon, sets out openly and honestly to answer these questions and more. The pros and cons of all of the UK's most popular cosmetic procedures are examined in detail - what they involve, who should consider them, what they will and won't solve, potential risks, potential reactions and length of recovery. Before and after photos show you exactly what can be achieved, and handy hints help you to look that little bit younger without ever actually having surgery. So, whether you're considering a brow lift, a boob job, or even just a Botox injection, this book will help you weigh up all the options and make a calm and informed decision that is right for you.
