Synopsis

Some interviewers are calling the slim hardback a 'tell-all, ' but to Troi Martin, it's just the facts. And while Martin encourages people to have plastic surgery, her book is loaded with cautionary tales, out-of-control egos and anecdotes that, while humorous, might make a person interested in pursuing plastic surgery think twice. The book itself doesn't talk about procedures specifically; rather it focuses on the characteristics of the professionals who work in the field. It's easy to understand how plastic surgeons fall prey to greed, she said. In this day and age where movie-star good looks and youth are glorified, people line up for a nip and a tuck. The ever-increasing demand for their services allows successful surgeons to make enormous amounts of money, and there is a temptation to sacrifice a patient's well-being in pursuit of the almighty dollar. Martin said it is common for surgeons to perform up to eight procedures in a day, with patients toward the end of the day unaware of the doctors' caseload. As a result, doctors may be hurried and tired. This over-scheduling can contribute to a doctor being rougher with patients or even more prone to make mistakes as he tires.
