readers had this to say…
By Steven Teitelbaum (Santa Monica, California)
I am a plastic surgeon who does a lot of breast augmentation, so it is with some authority that I can say that Dr. Tebbetts has contributed more to breast augmentation than any other plastic surgeon in the world. Do a search for scientific articles on breast augmentation, and his name comes up more than all other plastic surgeons combined!
In The Best Breast 2, he distills and translates those articles into understandable English for patients. I ask all of my patients to read it before their consultation.
They say it is a quick read and easy to understand. They all comment that the book is organized intuitively, with important subjects written in bold. Though it has a lot of information, the prose is succinct and can be read quickly. At times it seems repetitive, but I suppose that is necessary so that the chapters can be read independently of one another. Also, the repeated information is critical for patients to know, so it is probably good that certain points are emphasized.
When patients read it before their consultation, the visit is very sophisticated and highly productive. The Best Breast 2 fully informs them about each of the choices that they will need to make about their surgery. I am thrilled when I do a consultation with someone who has read The Best Breast, as we can have a discussion on a very high level, and spend our time discussing the important subjects as well as subtle nuances that are possible with the surgery. I don't have to waste everyone's time correcting common misunderstandings, and the patients know the important issues upon which to focus, the critical decision they have to make, and always ask the most insightful questions.
These patients make better decisions about their surgery. Better decisions means a better operation, less pain, faster recovery, and a better likelihood of having the long-term result that they wanted.
No book or website holds a candle to the quality and presentation of the material in The Best Breast 2.
If "All philosophy is a footnote to Plato," and "All psychology is a footnote to Freud," then "All that is known about breast augmentation is a footnote to Tebbetts." Let the doctors peruse his original scientific papers, but if you read The Best Breast 2, you'll understand breast augmentation better than 99% of plastic surgeons.

I purchased and read the first version of this book nearly ten years ago when I was considering augmentation and was impressed at the level of detail. So when I decided earlier this year to look into breast augmentation once again, I immediately got on amazon.com to see if there was an updated version of the book. I was excited to read just how much the procedure and choices had improved in a decade. The book is an invaluable reference tool for any woman considering breast augmentation. It addresses nearly every issue a woman should consider from choosing a surgeon to incision sites to implant options and more. The book is full of detail, but it is laid out in a way that makes it very reader friendly. I was so impressed with the book that I ultimately ended up choosing Dr. Tebbetts as my surgeon. I am one very satisfied customer (of the book, to which I continue to use as a reference post-operatively) and an even more satisfied patient. I cannot stress enough how helpful this book is for educating oneself about breast augmentation.

I read this book the day I got it in the mail. I had researched information on the Internet, but this book was more complete and it was nice to have it all in one place. The book has great information and I think every woman considering augmentation should read it.
Amazon customer I read this extremely comprehensive book, and I went to Dr. Tebbetts for my BA consultation. Dr. Tebbetts, his wife and the entire staff, treated me like I was their most important patient.

I have read many books and done extensive research on implantation of saline and silicone for 30 years and advise many women. This book is INVALUABLE in its tips, diagrams and plain facts, especially about getting large implants, implant overfill, pocket placement and the wearing of those nasty "breast bands" post-op when the implant is inserted too high—something at least half seem to do!
Read the book! Many of the Hollywood stars would benefit from reading it before they have a implants and would hopefully save them from that very fake look with breasts spaced so far apart they look like bolted on rocks.

For an important change in life such as implants—research is a must, and this book is a great tool for that research on the total process involved.

This book had excellent advice to follow when choosing your surgeon. Great, caring staffs who welcomes any question or concern is a must. He also gave good info on what to expect after surgery, through recovery. And the cut-out reminder cards in the back of the book—those are a great idea!

This is a great book if you're thinking about breast augmentation. It has a lot of good information about the risks involved, what to expect and how to find a good plastic surgeon.

After much research, I happened upon Dr. Tebbetts’ book. He takes a no nonsense, extremely informative approach—no fluff, just the facts. An important fact to mention is that Dr. Tebbetts by no means sells you on breast augmentation. He gives you complete, accurate information to use in deciding whether breast augmentation is right you.
