Aesthetic Surgery

Before/after: the quest for perfection

TASCHEN's 25th anniversary - Special edition!

"This diverse book is a must on every clinic's book shelf. It is serious, yet humorous. It mixes interviews with famous aesthetic surgeons with before and after photographs of various operations. There's history, art and movies. All these together add up to an excellent overview of the entire aesthetic industry, complete with fairly hard-hitting photographs which are not for the faint of heart. It's hard to understand how such a comprehensive and lavish book could be produced for such a paltry retail price. Excellent value for money."
