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.

An effective marketing plan often involves coming up with an effective advertising and promotion techniques. According to About.com writer Mary Bellis, there is a significant difference between the two techniques and a marketer should be well aware of it. Bellis puts it this way: while advertising involves the use of different media outlets (television, radio, Internet) to inform potential consumers of a certain product or service, promotion can entail community involvement such as sponsorship by non-profit organizations.



Dr. Loren Borud offers both innovation and experience in the medical products and services space.”



By letting these organizations use part of their resources, companies involved in community services can bring much attention to their businesses and signal that they “are concerned and committed to the welfare of the community and its residents.”

Meanwhile, Bellis considers the identification and selection of the media that can provide huge amount of exposure to a company’s product as a crucial part of advertising. In order to do this, a company should have enough knowledge about its product and its selling points which “can arouse the costumers’ consciousness levels to the point that they are curious enough to investigate it.”
