The Surgery of Happiness

The Reason I Wrote the Book “LA CHIRURGIE DU BONHEUR” (THE SURGERY OF HAPPINESS) 

Dr. Eric Plot - December 6th, 2015

I am happy to announce the publication of my book "The surgery of happiness" at the Panthéon editions.

Through the testimony of several patients, this book aims to show that plastic surgery, beyond physical improvements, brings deeper benefits that affect the well-being and self-esteem which can both be a source of happiness.

As an experienced practitioner of almost twenty years, it was important for me to share what I see and what I love most about my job.
Yes, it is true that plastic surgery can really help you feel better and live better. Many patients have testified the following in this book, each with their own story: you can feel more in harmony with yourself and with others by improving your physical appearance.
Indeed, one does not choose one’s body; we inherit it and live with it.

I am convinced that plastic surgeons can very often repair, correct and embellish, and that it is a noble and effective way to help others. This is how I live my vocation as a doctor, by listening and discussing every aspect with my patients.

Written with Frédérique Flamand, pharmacist and independent journalist, this book traces the experiences of the patients whom I thank again for having testified kindly and with a lot of sincerity and confidence.
