"This is perhaps the single most concise and well-written book I have ever seen directed towards cosmetic surgery patients. Having had cosmetic eyelid surgery myself 18 years ago, I am particularly sensitive to what patients experience as well as their anxieties. I would recommend this book to anyone considering cosmetic surgery."
Dr. Darrick.E. Antell, MD, FACS,. leading Park Avenue surgeon and Spokesman for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons
"A groundbreaking new book that sorts fact from fiction and reveals the tried tested keys to surgical success... the inside story from someone who's been there."
Vogue Magazine
"The wealth of vital information in Cindy's book enabled me to venture into the daunting world of cosmetic surgery and come out the other side with results beyond my wildest expectations."

"Thousands of dollars worth of cosmetic surgery can leave you looking like Cindy Jackson or like Jocelyne Wildenstein. You choose."
Mary Kenny, Daily Express
