Dr. Loren Borud cuts deep on Plastikonomics

Depth and sincerity—those are immediately noticeable in Dr. Loren Borud’s “Plastikonomics: What I Learned as a Harvard Plastic Surgeon.” Dr. Borud, in this book, puts his own field at the surgical table and opened up the truth with his usual sharp, surgical precision. In a masterful method, Dr. Borud exposed the skin-thick truths about plastic surgery, its medical practitioners, and the whole large enterprise that makes up the plastic surgery profession.

Plastikonomics provides an incisive analysis of the field of plastic surgery. It offers a glimpse of the world behind the curtain of operating rooms: the world of sharp tools and minds honed by years of training and education. Aptly titled, the book is narrated by Dr. Loren Borud, relaying “what he learned as a Harvard plastic surgeon”. But the depth of this book goes beyond the walls of Harvard. It rips through the insecure fortress of the whole medical field and exposes the humanity of doctors never seen before. It’s a brave narration of a profession fraught with equal amount of success and shortcomings and, sometimes, shocking doses of betrayal from the sworn oath.

With Plastikonomics, Dr. Borud boldly takes aim at the field he loves most while honestly, and even contritely, explains the forces behind actions and circumstances. Moreover, he takes pride on this noble profession with impressive clarity and seriousness. Besides, Dr. Borud knows that it is something that should not be lost on readers. The profession of plastic surgery, Dr. Borud explains, is a field just similar to others. Except that it possesses its own unique face. Whatever Plastikonomics offers, it’s nothing but the truth—warts and all. No facelifts.
