John Tebbetts has 20 years of experience in breast augmentation-using virtually every type of implant, incision location, and surgical technique available-a very broad and deep experience that uniquely qualifies him to share valuable information with surgeons and readers of this book. An innovator and teacher, Dr. Tebbetts has designed many new breast implant innovations and new surgical techniques to help patients achieve the best and safest results. Known throughout the world by his colleagues as a respected expert in the field of breast augmentation and cosmetic surgery, Dr. Tebbetts has been invited by colleagues in 23 countries to lecture, perform live operations, and share his innovations and knowledge with other surgeons. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tebbetts is invited annually as a Visiting Professor to many plastic surgery residency training programs at academic institutions in the United States and abroad. But most of all, Dr. Tebbetts is a surgeon who can communicate with you-the prospective patient. He knows what a patient needs to know to have the best chance for the best breast if she is considering breast augmentation-and he knows how to communicate this knowledge in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner. His no-nonsense approach to breast augmentation reflects his personal philosophy: "Put up or shut up-what matters is what is real, not fluff." The standards he sets for surgeons in this book are the standards by which he measures himself daily. They are tough, but they offer you, the patient, the best chance for the best breast!

Terrye Tebbetts is one of the most knowledgeable women in the United States about breast augmentation from both the patient's and surgeon's perspectives. Eleven years of experience managing one of the world's largest and most sophisticated breast augmentation practices has provided Terrye the opportunity to follow more than 1500 patients through every step of the process of having breast augmentation. A superb communicator and educator, Terrye has developed and manages one of the most detailed, yet patient-friendly programs for patient education in breast augmentation. Her approach to the augmentation patient is based on her beliefs that: 1) every woman considering breast augmentation deserves complete information and is capable of making informed decisions, 2) every patient deserves a wide range of choices to select the best options for her personal desires with the help of her surgeon, and 3) it is the job of the surgeon and staff to assure that every patient receives the knowledge and options she deserves.
The Tebbetts' live in Dallas, and spend weekends at their farm in East Texas with their Chesapeake Bay and Golden Retrievers: Beau Tebbetts, Raz, and Biff.
