Review by Cindy Ross for The Little Book of Lipo: Everything You Need to Know About Liposuction but Didn’t Know to Ask

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.

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?

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.
