“In summary, The Safe and Sane Guide to Teenage Plastic Surgery is an excellent reference for parents with children who are undergoing elective surgery. All surgeons dealing with adolescent patients should consider recommending this book to the parents of their patients to better prepare them and their children for the decisions regarding procedures and their implications.”

The Safe and Sane Guide to Teenage Plastic Surgery was reviewed in the January 2012 issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. From the review:

The Safe and Sane Guide to Teenage Plastic Surgery remains an informative and valuable resource for parents and families who are considering plastic surgery.

The Safe and Sane Guide to Teenage Plastic Surgery on New Yorker’s Book Bench

Thursday, 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.
