Description
Josif Ginsburg was an early 20th-century Russian trauma and military surgeon who later turned his talents and skills to the rapidly growing field of cosmetic surgery. He relocated his practice to Los Angeles in the 1920s and, with the advent of Hollywood and movie stars demanding more cosmetic surgery, his practice thrived. In this book, like the other books involving cosmetic surgery, the emphasis is more on the non-academic and non-medical aspects of the field of plastic surgery. The writing addresses both surgical and non-surgical methods for restoring and rejuvenating not only the skin but facial complexion and hair as well. Chemical peels and skin care are also discussed.
