Fine Art
The Fine Art of Looking Younger, by Dr. Amiya Prasad, gives patients a thorough understanding of cosmetic surgery as a whole as well as an understanding of our practice philosophy and the PRASAD point of difference.
Dr. Prasad’s primary interest in cosmetic surgery is to bring about a natural appearance, restoring and revitalizing patients to look as young as they feel. Anti-aging changes wrought upon the face should in no way alter the basic character that it originally possessed.
“You may wish to diminish signs of aging, but it is critically important to protect the integrity of those desirable and beautiful expressions that make you unique.”
Amiya Prasad, M.D.
Dr. Amiya Prasad’s book, The Fine Art of Looking Younger, is an inside look at the plastic surgery profession. Prasad explains his natural approach to ocularfacial plastic surgery, how to vet your plastic or cosmetic surgeon, how marketing has affected the industry, different perceptions of beauty, symmetry, expectations, procedures and more.
Plastic or cosmetic surgery is a big decision. The Fine Art of Looking Younger is a must read for anyone contemplating this step.

Great book and awesome on the IPAD
I was looking for a book to give me some insight into the cosmetic surgery world being that I was thinking of having some work done. After seeing a few reviews on this book and looking into Dr. Prasad’s medical background I bought this book for my ipad. I have to say, the book is amazing, well written and completely understandable for people who are not in the medical field. The before and after photos looked great on the ipad and it was really interesting that I was able to zoom into the photos to see the differences between each case. I highly recommend this book to all people!!!The Fine Art of Looking Younger (A Leading Cosmetic Surgeon’s Guide to Long-Lasting Beauty)

Demystifying Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery.
Those two words elicit a whole slew of associations: fear, blood, desperation, a necessary evil, Frankenstein, great results, Joan Rivers, expensive, etc. The only thing I’ve kinda contemplated is a boob lift in the future (breastfeeding 3 kids for years, you get the picture . . .).
Long and short of it, my view of plastic surgeons wasn’t too high. Just flip through the back pages of New Beauty magazine where doctors are profiled and you can’t help but be spooked. They all look a little too perfect, fake and stiff. And they seem almost god-like. After all, they have the power to re-sculpt your body and make you look perfect.
So when I met Dr. Amiya Prasad in an effort to get insight into the desires of plastic surgery patients, I was happily surprised. He came across as friendly, sympathetic and down to earth. He spoke of the importance of helping people maintain their personality via their looks and not molding them into some scary image of what’s fashionable or youthful. Since then, we’ve struck up a friendly working relationship of sorts, namely, he zaps my face and gives me continual insight on new technologies and treatments.
The most interesting things I learned so far came from his new book, The Fine Art of Looking Younger. True, I almost got sick when he described in surgical detail what he does to eyes to preserve their health and character. But still, his attitude and approach were refreshing.
First, he has a very humanistic way with his patients, often describing them as “family.”
Second, he looks at his work on each face as an art form. He talks about being interested in art in his youth and how he “approach(es) each individual with the sense of artistry and a respect for the balance of their face that such a tremendous task requires.”
Finally, he analyzes and tries to preserve not just the face’s symmetry (or lack thereof) but micro-expressions, those itsy bitsy movements that our faces do to express how we feel and ultimately who we are. To quote him: “When we think of rejuvenation, the tendency is to focus on the signs of aging and how to best eliminate them. However, in the process, you don’t want to diminish special, appealing, expressive nuances that make you unique.”
His approach, in essence, embraces the patient as a special, beautiful person versus a blank canvas to manipulate.
While I still feel very ambivalent about the whole subject, I’m a bit less fearful of it.Show Less

Informative book-great surgeon
Let me start by saying that we flew from Florida to use Dr.Prasad and am really glad we did. My wife looks great. He did a wonderful job. Before doing anything read the book. It is very informative. You will really learn what not to do and where not to go if considering plastic surgery. Many of the cut rate and quick plastic surgeries such as the thread lift,etc. will not last and you will not be happy when you look in the mirror a few months later.
After reading the book it will make your decision as to where to go and what to do much,much easier.
