 Finally... the Truth About Lipo! Feb 16, 2008
By Cindy Ross
"Knowledge is Power"
It's about time that all women and men had the opportunity to read this first hand account, from an expert, who knows the ins-and-outs of the world of plastic surgery. If only everyone had this personalized dialogue with someone who cared, they would realize how to go about choosing the appropriate doctor and method of lipo.
Thank you, Miss Martin, for doing the research that too many of us neglect to do in making such an important decision. I like your balanced approach and perspective on having lipo; living with lipo and becoming a truly informed patient. You've done justice to your field and every adult should take the time to read this book and spread the word.

Wonderful! Feb 08, 2008
By SMJ
Very Informative book! It would be helpful not only for liposuction, but as a surgery reference in general. Martin is brilliant and we should all be very grateful that she is sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience with us. Can't wait for the next little book of ....!

Outstanding! Feb 25, 2008
By Dr. Larry A. Snyder
Wow! Carol Martin has stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! Her "soup-to-nuts" approach has left no questions unanswered. Carol's refreshing candidness and acute attention to detail strips the myth and mystery from cosmetic surgery in general, and liposuction in particular. The text is both humorous and comprehensively informative. Sprinkled with anecdotes, pictures and checklists, Carol's book leaves no doubt she is the authority she claims to be. This venture left me anxiously awaiting an encore. Can "Little Books" about face lifts and breast surgeries be far behind?

 Not helpful book on liposuction Jul 28, 2008
By laserdoc
"laserdoc"
I bought the book, hoping to get copies of it for my patients who are about to undergo laser assisted liposuction. Not only is there very little on laser assisted liposuction it basically stays with the subject of traditional liposuction with a tiny blurb on laser applications.
My practice is an internal medicine/laser practice and the author states in several chapters how careful a patient must be on choosing their doctor and that the doctor must be a plastic surgeon. There are many specialties of doctors offering the procedure and to omit all general physicians from performing it would be to omit many outstanding physicians. The book is too repetitious in this subject instead of just stating her opinion once on physician selection.
I gave it to my practice partner to read and stated that we would be unable to offer it to our patients or they would go running from us. It is my firm belief that liposuction has advanced to laser assisted lipo and that qualified laser physicians can offer a beautiful procedure, which is half art, half science. That is, sculpting the areas of treatment requires a keen eye for symmetry and outcome.

The "little" book that packs a big punch! Mar 20, 2008
By LaRueWorld
I've known several people who have gotten liposuction in the past couple of years, with varying results and levels of satisfaction. Overwhelmingly, the ones who are the happiest with their altered bodies are the ones who had the procedure for the right reasons, picked the right surgeon and had realistic and positive expectations regarding the outcome. The rest of them wish they'd had "The Little Book of Lipo" before they had the surgery so they could have made sure they had all their bases covered as well!
Ms. Martin's book a must-have for anyone considering lipo. The author takes you, step-by-step, through everything you need to know, ask or think about before you have a surgeon suck fat out of your body...and in a very down-to-earth and entertaining manner to boot. Having a cosmetic procedure such as liposuction is not something to be taken lightly. It is surgery and as such, it needs to be thought out, researched and contemplated from all angles before the decision to proceed is reached. Any elective surgery is expensive and there are no guarantees for success. But with "The Little Book of Lipo," you are much more likely to get the results you desire because you will be educated, prepared and primed for success.
Now, finally, I can start looking for three surgeons to interview and kiss my thighs goodbye...forever! Thank you, Carol!
