Scarlet Roads presents the real experiences of Don Mangus in story form, where characters and places have been changed to protect the innocent. He challenges all religions to look into themselves and their own inequities, and ask how a Creator would give us a world of suffering and pain, agony and loss, love and rejection, and endless loneliness and regret. How could He or She allow such misery to exist? Throughout the surgical experiences, the reader will find humor intertwined within the tragedy.

As a plastic surgeon, I have spent countless hours speaking to women about the various pros and cons of cosmetic breast surgery, the different options available and the right procedure to obtain the results desired. Just as every patient and every breast is different from the next, the proper procedure will likely be different as well. It has, for many years, been my pleasure to experience the look of joy on a woman's face when the right procedure and the right implant come together to create the perfect look for her. While I can't condense all of the experience and knowledge I have culled over the years into a book of this size, what I do hope is that many of the questions you have about your upcoming cosmetic breast surgery will be answered in a way that you find valuable.

The increasing popularity of cosmetic procedures brings both good news and bad news for you as a potential patient. The good news: there is a ton of information out there to help you become a better informed consumer. The bad news? There is a ton of information out there designed to confuse and deceive you. But here's the thing as you contemplate having your own plastic surgery: how does any of that information apply to you as an individual? How do you even begin to distinguish fact from fiction? How do you decide which procedure is the right one for you? How can you know which doctor and facility are the best choices for your chosen procedure? How can you increase the odds of getting the results you want? How can you be sure you are even a good candidate for plastic surgery in the first place? The more factual information the patient collects, the better off the patient, the surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the support staff are going to be. More factual information is good; inaccurate or little information is downright scary. Author and renowned facial plastic surgeon, Brenton B. Koch, MD, FACS, is going to cut through all the fluff and confusion and tell you in straightforward, honest terms exactly what to ask potential surgeons and their support staff during your plastic surgery consultation. "Together, you and I will walk through a list of questions that has been fourteen years in the making; a series of inquiries designed to bring you greater clarity and confidence as a potential consumer of plastic surgery. These are the questions I get on a day-to-day basis from those well-prepared patients I described above. These are the questions I wish all of my patients would ask me. And not only am I going to give you the questions, but I am also going to give you the answers that I think are the most responsible and helpful. Lastly, I am going to give you a series of questions for you to ask yourself about your motivation, expectations and readiness for plastic surgery. These are the questions I wish all of my patients would ask themselves before they come in for a consultation."

You have led a remarkable life of experiences." Dr. Leon Morgenstern, Emeritus Professor of Surgery, UCLA, writes of Dr. Yuan's book: ..". interesting, literate, entertaining, informative and well-written... I got a great deal of pleasure reading them. There is much surgical and medical wisdom than just plastic surgery."

In the right hands, cosmetic or plastic surgery can become a work of beauty and a tremendous boost to a person's self-esteem. In the wrong hands, cosmetic surgery can become a powerful force to destroy one's self-esteem and any trace of confidence a person may have in the very core of his or her soul.

In The Ultimate Violation, author Kurtess Lief Scone tells the story of his life-his time suffering from rickets as a young boy; his adolescence; the role his relationship to Jesus Christ has played in his life; and his adulthood, during which, disliking his facial appearance, he underwent plastic surgery.

Other novel techniques include a so-called de-epithelializing method that permits optimal anatomical positioning of the gluteal folds during a buttock lift and liposuction using a sophisticated Micro-Air system that avoids dimples and hematoma, eases convalescence, and is performed under local anesthesia.

This interdisciplinary handbook will prove invaluable to both medical students and more experienced practitioners.
