Unfortunately, sometimes plastic surgery does not have a positive end result.  I’ve seen many women in their 50′s, 60′s who look so tight that I’m afraid their face might crack if they smile.  Your goal should be to look more youthful in a less obvious way. 

The Facelift Letdown by Sam T. Hamra, M.D., a board certified plastic surgeon & Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, provides solutions for cosmetic surgery and vaser liposuction in Chicago for all ages and lifestyles.

“achieving the optimal facelift, including photographs to compare causes & treatments of plastic surgery gone wrong, and how to avoid costly & regrettable surgery.

A "must read" before any plastic surgery

Here are a few examples of “facelifts gone wrong.” One technique used is called a “lateral sweep” which is considered a swept back or stretched appearance between the corners of the mouth and earlobes due to the surgeon only lifting the lower cheeks & jawline laterally toward the ear and not lifting the upper cheeks & lower eyelids vertically towards the eyes.

In the 36 years Dr. Hamra has been a plastic surgeon he has seen and revised his fair share of suboptimal facelifts so he decided to write “The Facelift Letdown” to educate patients about the right questions to ask and how they can avoid costly surgical mistakes.  In 1990 Dr. Hamra was the first surgeon to introduce the inclusion of cheek fat to the facelift and the first to include the orbicularis muscle of the lower eyelid in “The Deep Plane Facelift,” which has since been renamed the “Composite Facelift.”

This is definitely a book you should read if you are contemplating a facelift.  Before you purchase a car I’m sure you do some research…this is your face…so, please read this book so when you meet with your doctor you are both clear on what he will do and what you want!
