New Book, ‘Tales for Tagliacozzi,’ Explains Today’s Plastic Surgery
New Bern, NC (PRWEB) February 25, 2015 -- Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John Zannis is furthering his message of sensible plastic surgery with his new book, “Tales for Tagliacozzi, An Inside Look at Modern-Day Plastic Surgery,” due to be released this spring.
Tagliacozzi references Gasparo Tagliacozzi, an Italian surgeon and pioneer of plastic and reconstructive surgery during the late 16th Century. He is known as “the father of plastic surgery.” Zannis uses Tagliacozzi’s example to discuss the best practices, methods and perspectives of today for sensible plastic surgery.
“The shape of the face and facial features all work together,” says Dr. Zannis, a recognized leader in cosmetic plastic surgery, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and head of the Zannis Center for Plastic Surgery. “The nose that accentuates the appearance of a celebrity or model, for example, could be all wrong for you, depending on the rest of your features. An important question for sensible plastic surgery is, ‘Does it fit?’ or, ‘Does it work for a patient’s overall appearance?’”
Dr. Zannis’ practice offers the same range of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery that is described in his book. He has a particular interest in aesthetic rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation.
He also is an expert in breast surgery and other body procedures. Non-surgical procedures for facial and body rejuvenation and comprehensive skin care are the focus of his adjoining medi-spa, The Rinnova Spa & Wellness Center.
“Plastic surgery is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States, and some of the doctors performing these procedures are not certified,” says Zannis, who studied art and art history in Florence, Italy. “Their patients are at risk not only of botched surgeries, but of undergoing unnecessary procedures for the wrong reasons.”
He hopes that his new book will, in part, help guide readers to make the right decisions.
