Joan Rivers is one of the few celebrities unafraid to admit what she's "had done" to keep looking so great. Now, she gives women straight-talking advice on better living through looking better. Informed by the country's top plastic surgeons, she takes the mystery out of cosmetic surgery, taking you step-by-step through the entire process, from finding the right doctor to the bruising truth about recovery and the facts about cosmetic surgery's very real risks.

This is a funny, frank, and genuinely passionate argument for a woman's right to do whatever it takes to be beautiful, to feel better about herself, and be happy.--From publisher description.
