What Really Happens After Liposuction Surgery
Book tells "true" story of physical and emotional changes of this cosmetic surgery procedure.

LANHAM, MD - Some people have thought about undergoing liposuction, and some even have it listed as a long-term goal. Kathyne Jackson did it and revealed her experiences with the procedure in her tell-all book, Dear Diary: What My Doctor Never Told Me About Liposuction (available through kjacksonbooks.com). She described her daily ordeal, and the mental and physical anguish she endured, that neither her doctor nor books prepared her for beforehand. She even dumped a guy as the inches decreased and her confidence grew.

An up-close-and-personal look at one patient's experience with liposuction, from choosing her doctor to six months later. Her book answers questions those considering surgery long to know. What will my body look like after liposuction? How much actual pain and bleeding is there? Can I really go back to work three days later? Jackson touches on all these issues and gives a detailed account of her entire experience.

"Writing this book has been a very essential part of my recovery. Most of my time was spent alone with my thoughts and fears since I told no one I was doing this. Putting my own experiences down on paper was an emotional lifeline for me. I held nothing back. Now, as I look at the before and after photographs of me shrinking from size 22 to 16 that are included in the book, I'm amazed at what I went through to achieve my present look,” Jackson said.

"Cosmetic Surgery is no longer a secret taboo. You just have to pick up a magazine to read about the latest celebrity, or turn on your television to see the newest makeover. We all have something we want to change, even dreamed about it. I'm no different. I want my words to help others thinking about this procedure to know the truth so they will enter with their eyes wide open."

Whether you've ever considered cosmetic surgery, or know of someone who has, this is a MUST READ! An explicit no-holds-barred guide for those who have or are thinking about this cosmetic procedure. The book aids the patient through the process.

Kathyne L. Jackson is a freelanced writer, a published poetess, songwriter, and mystery novelist. She loves to travel and is the owner of a small vending business. She lives in Maryland with her two children and is working on the first in a series of mystery novels.
