Dr. and Mrs. Guinea Pig Present The Only Guide You'll Ever Need to the Best Anti-Aging Treatments

I enjoy the Dubrows on television and seeing some of the fantastic work Terry does with plastic surgery I was eager to read this advice book. Full of practical ,useful advice from hair , makeup and skincare this book has solutions most anyone can do and afford. I really liked the tone of the book which makes it feels as you are having a conversation with a friend

I was interested in finding out what Fancy Pants and Super Star Doc had to say bout beauty. Yes, there are a few plugs for their new beauty line, most of the information was sound advice.
I find this a great book to read if you are considering plastic surgery at all. Terry breaks down most of the procedures and how they are done, along with down time and pain level. This was the best part of the book.
Heather provides beauty information, with a small plug for their beauty line, but gave generous other options you can use to get great results, even from drugstores. This would make a great reference book to look at for every stage of your life.

Although most of the first part of the book was common sense, I appreciate it - it wasn't repetitive, it was interesting and witty. I don't know how much I learned, but I enjoyed it tremendously.

Being a fan of the Housewives of OC, I was immediately interested in this title when I saw it. I knew from last season that the Dubrow's had launched a skincare line that they had spent a lot of time developing, so I figured this book would be really interesting. While there are a couple of mentions of this line, it is kind of expected and isn't too annoying. For instance, even though they will briefly suggest their products every now and then, they also suggest the ingredients to look for in alternatives.

The first part was the most interesting to me. It's mostly Heather's research and thoughts on makeup and haircare that can be tweaked to make you look younger instead of automatically trying to jump into plastic surgery to "fix" everything. She had a lot of good examples of how to incorrectly use makeup that made it easy to visualize where she was coming from.

The second part is more about skincare, what works and what doesn't, what ingredients to look for in products for certain skin concerns, etc. I mostly skimmed this section because I already knew a lot of it, but that's only because I spend a lot of time researching skincare myself. Overall there is a ton of great information in this section that could be used as a reference when looking for products.

The remainder of the book is mostly about plastic surgery procedures, the do's and don'ts, and a lot of in-depth information on procedures. It seems like they tried to exhaustively list all the different types of procedures and products you can have done/use for each concern you might have that plastic surgery could address. Terry goes to great lengths to also stress that these are surgeries after all, and they can have some major complications if you go to a bad doctor, or even if some 1% fluke happens during or after the operation. I really appreciated hearing that from his standpoint as one of the most famous plastic surgeons out there.

Overall this was a good read, and I think it would be best use as reference material if you were thinking about getting work done, or wanted to prevent needing it for as long as possible. Since I'm not personally interested in the former, the book trailed off for me at the end, but that's just a personal issue. For someone planning to have a procedure or two done I would say this is a must read.

Fun and informative book. Love the guinea pig ratings included.

Anti-aging is a huge business. I'm not a "housewives" fan, but I do like the Dubrows..I'm also well versed in this industry. I didn't think I'd learn anything, but would have a nice read. I was so surprised. This book is a find! Heather gave a lot of reasonable (it helps that she's gorgeous!) tips that are doable for anyone. Terry gave down to earth, good advice for those wanting to go the surgical route. I would HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone. It's one of the best "beauty" books I've read in a long time. Thank you Net Galley, Bird Street Books/Ghost Mountain Books for the ACR in exchange for an honest review.

This book is amazing. I love Terry he is so open and giving of his knowledge and he puts in terms I can understand. What's even better you know they have tried it and let's be honest Heather and Terry are both easy on the eyes. They let you know how to beat aging with the least amount of expense with the most and best results. Love this book and learned a lot of new things!

While I'm not interested in plastic surgery, I did find this book to be informative with tons of humor thrown in. I loved the tell-it-like-it-is, easy to follow format. Sure, there were some things I"d seen and used before, but as we all know there's nothing new under the sun. In my opinion there's nothing worse than a book that bogs you down with science and takes itself too seriously. Thankfully, the Dubrows were wise enough to infuse this book with their personalities.
