About this title

From the Publisher

Raise self-esteem and aid recovery
Changes in physical appearance can be almost as emotionally traumatic as the disease itself. Studies show that when patients are able to improve their image, the chances of recovery and rehabilitation are greatly increased. In her first book, Beautiful Again, Jan Willis has taken her intensive knowledge as a Certified Paramedical Camouflage Advisor and translated it into practical steps that patients can follow; while specializing in camouflage techniques for scars, birthmarks, vitiligo, varicose veins and other dermatologic problems, she has also developed ways of masking the "moon face" and other body changes patients experience after organ transplant, or for patients who suffer from arthritis, cancer and various collagen disease—virtually any person who must use steroid drugs. She has also developed techniques for concealing scars and radiation burns left from cancer treatments. By using Jan's techniques patients can feel more in control of life. Health professionals know that there is a strong link between a person's self-esteem and that person's health and ability to heal. Beautiful Again can help improve the patient's physical appearance and therefore raise the self-esteem and aid the process of recovery and the ongoing process of getting on with life. Beautiful Again addresses a wide range of issues such as hair loss, ostomy surgery, head or neck surgery, mastectomy, lymphedema, radiation effects, chemotherapy, weight gain or loss and skin discolorations. It also provides detailed instructions and illustrations on using colors, makeup, accessories and clothing to enhance the self-image of patients dealing with these matters. Augmenting the main body of the work is a valuable resource section.
