The Safe and Sane Guide to Teenage Plastic Surgery on New Yorker’s Book Bench
September 2nd, 2010
The Safe and Sane Guide to Teenage Plastic Surgery was positively reviewed on The New Yorker site’s The Book Bench. The reviewer wrote: “…Lukash, who practices in New York, soon had me convinced of the merits of plastic surgery for teens with problems that truly impair their quality of life. My final verdict on it is that it’s a necessary book, and one I wish had been available to the parents of the teens who underwent cosmetic procedures—200,000 of them—in the U.S. last year.
