I seriously doubt any kids are going to buy it on their own, and if it was a "present" from there parents, they would probably be getting the same "education" without it.

Educating children is a must, but there are limits. The education provided in this book would only have harmful results. Little girls shouldn't grow up thinking that they have to get surgery to fit the mainstream idea of what beautiful is, and little boys shouldn't grow up thinking that women should change themselves. Since it was written by a plastic surgeon, I can't help but wonder if he's just trying to drum up more business by telling kids that it's okay to have plastic surgery, and that you should get if you don't live up the expectations. I sincerely hope women don't actually by this book for their kids, but just as a joke, as suggested by Austin. I saw this the other day as well. Educating children is a must, but there are limits.

I think there are really only two reasons one would purchase this. 1. As a gag gift for a friend. 2. Because a mother frequents a plastic surgeon enough to think that this might be helpful. I'd like to believe that most mothers (aka those who can't afford cosmetic surgery) would see how unnecessary this book is. I saw this on the superficial as well.

looks fade no matter what the surgery and age creeps in to all women, knife or not

it isn’t easy seeing it happen, but when you are 40 it doesn’t matter how much surgery you have, you are STILL 40 and everyone knows it

as a woman, being around women today is becoming more and more painful, the focus on looks is everywhere and it every conversation, looks, clothes, etc.

why can’t women talk about politics, philosophy, books instead of the size of their ass?

these conversations are painful enough as a teen; but as a women with some life experience they border on mind-achingly dull

thank god for my friends
