Welcome to Your Face Lift: What to Expect Before, During & After Cosmetic Surgery (Paperback)

From Library Journal
Anyone contemplating a facelift will welcome Bransford's guidebook. Having been through one, she shares the experience (even the "before" and "during" pictures). From the first "should I or shouldn't I" debate, through choosing a doctor, deciding what should be done, planning for recovery, and going through the surgery and subsequent convalescence, Bransford covers every step in the process with wit, compassion, and good cheer. She also details the experience of several friends, including a man. Her advice is thoughtful, complete, and well written. Recommended for public and patient-service libraries.
