Nicole's Reading List

When I was researching breast augmentation - way back before I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon, and long before I started this breast implant information web site, I read everything I could find about breast enlargement. The books below are some of the better ones, in my opinion.

The hyperlinked book titles link you to each book's page on Amazon.com. I have been unable to find these titles in my local bookstore, so to get them, I either had to place special orders at my local store or buy them over the 'net. (Disclaimer: If you buy any of the books below using the links provided, I will get a small referral commission from Amazon. I won't be able to retire from it, but I might be able to buy a nice lunch ;-)

The Best BreastThe Best Breast2 - John B. Tebbetts, M.D.  Breast Surgery Today – Out to Dinner Tonight! The Best Breast 2 tells you how you too can have this amazing recovery!

Redefining patient outcomes is the mission of the author duo consisting of John B. Tebbetts, M.D.—an internationally acclaimed plastic surgeon—and his wife, Terrye B. Tebbetts, a patient educator. Among the many topics covered in the book are the various medical issues, implant choices, available surgical options and how to prepare for and recover from surgery, as well as how to live with your new breasts. Featured throughout the book are checklists and tear-out flash cards that women can use during surgical consultations. The Best Breast 2 arms women with information based on the realities—not the myths—of breast augmentation to help them make the right decisions and avoid complications.

  Not Tonight Honey!
Not Tonight, Honey--Wait 'til I'm a Size 6 -  by
Susan Reinhardt

Hilarious! Columnist Susan Reinhardt (and regular on Nicole's website!) takes every topic on men's and women's minds and blows them wide open with a never-before-seen candor. The humor is explosive. Topics range from bodies that have gone to pot, to grandmothers taking up smoking at age 80 and hiding lit cigarettes in bras and aprons. Once, the author had to "marry" her best friend when the minister (also the bride's yard man) blew a gasket in his colostomy bag.

There are three chapters that deal with breast augmentation issues and some discussion about the author meeting women in the ImplantInfo chat room.  She was able to relate to so many women as part of her own experience.
