Synopsis:

Medical tourism is a burgeoning industry that is giving new meaning to the idea of "going on vacation and returning a new person." "Beauty from Afar" is a cosmetic surgery book like no other. It chronicles how to get a safe and professional Beverly Hills-quality nip or tuck without a celebrity income. And you get to enjoy the fun and frills of a vacation to an exotic locale, too. The book is written by journalist Jeff Schult, whose article on the new set of teeth he got for $9,200 (including a vacation) in Costa Rica drew a phenomenal reader response. (The same work in his Connecticut hometown would have cost $30,000.) This is a book for people who a) secretly would love to fix something about themselves and thought they couldn't afford it, or b) would rather avoid the "public announcement" of having a cosmetic procedure done on their home turf.

About the Author: Jeff Schult, is a journalist and writer with more than 20 years of experience in journalism and in corporate environs. The Beauty from Afar project arose from his own personal experiences.
