The Facelift Letdown: When Results Don't Meet Expectations Paperback

important book for anyone thinking about face lift. not to discourage consumer. but to inform them of one of the biggest letdowns: doctors who get good at one technique are reluctant to keep up with newer techniques, even if they are improvements. We all like to do what we do best. Learning curves are a problem, especially if practice must happen on paying clients. but one of the most common complaints is a realization a year after the facelift surgery that the 6-month youthfulness was still a bit of swelling, and the 12 month result isn't as good as the 6-month 5-star review a person gave online. Dr. Hamra explains techniques, and the one technique that is harder to find a doctor who will do. A technique that will keep your facelift satisfying for 10 years or more. I've interviewed 3 surgeons so far and all of them are behind the times technique-wise. Thing is, i really liked the personalities of two of them and wanted to trust them with my face. But after reading this book, i realized i wasn't finished interviewing.

This book, while useful, tends to be somewhat self serving of the author. I was hoping for a more objective and professional book.

Don't schedule a face lift without reading this first. I believe that his ideas are the most forward-thinking of any I have read anywhere.
