Walnut Creek Breast Augmentation and San Ramon Liposuction By The Book

San Ramon, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2008 -- According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 329,396 breast augmentation (augmentation mammaplasty) procedures were performed in the United States in 2006, a 13 percent increase over 2005's numbers. So, as more and more women have family or know friends or co-workers who have had surgery, and begin to consider surgery for themselves, where does a woman considering Walnut Creek breast augmentation or even San Ramon liposuction start?

If she lives in Walnut Creek, she maybe schedules a consultation with a board-certified Tracy plastic surgeon like Dr. Thomas McNemar. For many women, it's the first step to learning more about their options. But, for those who don't have access to the knowledge and experience of the Tracy plastic surgeon, there's the next best thing-his book.

Released by Addicus Books, and written by Dr. McNemar and Drs. C. Andrew Salzberg and Steven Seidel, "Your Complete Guide to Breast Augmentation & Body Contouring" provides answers to many of the common questions women ask Dr. McNemar during consultations at either his Tracy or San Ramon plastic surgery offices."

"Most women," says Dr. McNemar, "have questions about the two type of breast implants-saline and silicone. They also have questions as to what size is appropriate. Most plastic surgeons today have Web sites, but most also prefer to discuss risks and complications of surgery during the consultation. 'Your Complete Guide to Breast Augmentation and Body Contouring' provides answers to these questions, as well as information regarding techniques, the location of incisions, scarring, anesthesia, and risks and recovery."

The 152-page book also goes beyond breast augmentation to cover other popular body contouring procedures, such as tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction. Additionally, as a picture is worth a thousand worlds, the San Ramon plastic surgeon included close to a hundred full-color before and after photos and illustrations, a glossary of terms and a resources section.

"Any plastic surgeon will tell you that an informed patient is a good patient. With "Your Complete Guide to Breast Augmentation & Body Contouring," we're hoping to help women make good decisions about their bodies," Dr. McNemar says.
