A general/vascular/cosmetic surgeon in California has just sent out a press release attacking Joan Rivers’ guide to plastic surgery. In his press release he states,
“While Joan Rivers certainly has a right to hawk her beliefs about plastic surgery, her book and the half dozen reality shows that focus on plastic surgery undermine the credibility of the beauty enhancement business.”
Who is this guy to talk? He’s a general and vascular surgeon who practices cosmetic surgery! To me it looks like a blatant attempt to hop on Ms. Rivers’ coattails and get a little media coverage. I find Joan’s book well-written, humorous, and chock-full of useful information for anyone considering plastic surgery. Maybe he didn’t like the chapter where she encourages everyone to seek a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
