"[This] book is the adult equivalent of those soothing books which parents give to children before they go to the hospital, explaining what to take along (Teddy, toothbrush-or, in Bransford's case, sunglasses credit cards) and what to expect when they get there."

Publisher's Notes
Open, honest, straightforward, and entertaining are not the words one generally associates with writing about cosmetic surgery, but they are exactly the qualities that make Helen Bransfords Welcome to Your Facelift unique. At the age of 47, and married to a man (writer Jay McInerny) seven years her junior, she decided it was time to recapture that face she no longer saw when looking in the mirror. Her surgery involved a "touch of lipo" under the chin, a forehead peel, an upper eyelid tuck, dermabrasion under the eyes, and a standard lift, and she chronicles it all-with sage advice from the veteran to the uninitiated-from initial decision to that moment, a month after the event, when she was "dead certain" shed done the right thing. For those who dont know anyone whos been through it, Helen Bransford will be that best friend who tells you what it's really like and what you should do to prepare.To augment her own story, Helen has interviewed doctors and other patients, adding their expertise and experiences to her own. She has researched every procedure from the most common eye lift to state-of-the-art ultrasonic liposuction, and she reports from the cosmetic surgery trenches with authority, understanding, and above all the awareness that "the entire exercise deals with the superficial, so you should consider no detail too trite."

Beautiful Skin Of Color
by Jeanine Downie
It's a fact of DNA: If you can trace your roots back to Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, India, Latin America, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the South Pacific, or any group of Native Americans, your genes react similarly to genes in the darkest skin. And chances are, you may have received confusing advice -- or no advice at all -- about how to care for your skin. Although nearly half the population of the United States shares the hallmarks of skin of color, many dermatologists and beauty consultants routinely prescribe remedies created for Caucasian skin without understanding how sensitive and easily damaged skin of color is. It's no wonder, then, that many women and men of color continually battle skin problems, and it takes a terrible toll on their self-esteem. Finally, Beautiful Skin of Color unlocks the particular secrets of your skin and provides the answers you've been searching for. Dr. Fran Cook-Bolden and Dr. Jeanine Downie, internationally recognized dermatologists and women of color, and Barbara Nevins Taylor, an award-winning reporter on skin and hair issues, offer clear, specific advice to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, gorgeous complexion. In a quick-reference, A-to-Z format, using examples drawn from personal and professional experience, Dr. Cook-Bolden and Dr. Downie explain why problems occur, and then prescribe reliable remedies and groundbreaking new procedures specifically created for skin of color. Throughout this comprehensive guide, the doctors show you how to work with your skin and hair -- and your dermatologist -- to create your own unique skin-management program. A long-overdue and much-needed resource, Beautiful Skin of Color is certain to help you look and feel your best.
The Acne Prescription
by Nicholas Perricone
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perricone Prescription and The Wrinkle Cure comes a powerful new weapon in the fight for clear and healthy skin. No matter your age, race, or gender, here's everything you need to know about acne -- how to treat itand how to prevent it. The Acne Prescription Long recognized as a pioneer in reversing skin damage caused by aging, board-certified dermatologist and #1 bestselling author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., now turns his knowledge and expertise toward acne. Although usually considered an unavoidable problem limited to the teenage years, in reality, millions of people suffer from this inflammatory disease well into middle age. In fact, half of the acne patients in Dr. Perricone's fifteen-year practice suffered from adult-onset acne. With The Acne Prescription , Dr. Perricone finally delivers the solutions acne sufferers have been waiting for. A complete program that incorporates Dr. Perricone's trademark three-tiered approach -- antiinflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough anti-inflammatory topical applications -- The Acne Prescription will help clear your skin in a matter of days. And, Dr. Perricone will tell you what to do to treat the pitting and scarring that often affect adult acne sufferers. Like the runaway #1 bestseller The Perricone Prescription , The Acne Prescription will feature dramatic before-and-after color photos, rock-solid scientific background explication, and a day-by-day program of meals and exercise. And, although physicians have long told patients that diet plays no role in acne, Dr. Perricone's breakthrough research dispels this and other common myths regarding the causes and treatment of acne. By following the Perricone Program of diet, vitamins, topical applications, and exercise, you can dramatically reduce the appearance of blemishes and breakouts, and achieve a smoother look within three days. You will look and feel better than you ever thought possible. Good health and clear, radiant, beautiful skin -- an unbeatable combination!
