"With his work on da Vinci's masterpiece, Burki vividly exemplifies what he sets out as a motto at the beginning of his book: Aesthetic surgery of the face is applied art." |
 |

"It's the whole history of beauty - artistic, philosophical and cultural - that he subjects to an in-depth examination. From the poet Ovid through the painter Dürer to Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach - the father of modern aesthetic surgery, the "beautiful" is illuminated from a multitude of angles." |
 |
"The before-and-after photographs of interventions performed and described in the second part of the book prove that surgery works wonders in the art of embellishment and rejuvenation." |
