About this title

Review:

'For anyone who has ever contemplated plastic surgery – or even if you have not – this is great read. Informative, humorous and touching, Dr Lesesne bares his soul. I couldn't put it down and it keeps you guessing who's who.'
Nicole Miller, Women's Fashion Designer

‘Where the beautiful people go to be more beautiful’
Daily Telegraph

'While the dishy read contains plenty of gossip, those titbits are interspersed with practical advice for people considering body modification.'
Elle

'Confessions is full of juicy gossip ... reading like a string of blind items – from the actress who gets a brow-lift "between movies" to the royal European family that jets Lesesne to an undisclosed Middle Eastern locale for Botox. Most captivating, however, are Lesesne's general observations on the self-esteem business.'
Forbes
