An Interview with Dr. Joel B. Singer about new developments in plastic surgery 

Dr. Singer I understand that you have some exciting news to tell everyone about a new concept in plastic surgery.

Yes, “As a board certified plastic surgeon with more than thirty years of experience with facial rejuvenation, I realized that we had been missing some very important information. For years, we thought that the facelift, in which the facial skin and deeper layers had to be pulled and stretched upward, was the best way to make you look younger. Most plastic surgeons were performing very extensive surgical procedures such as deep plane facelift. No one realized that the reason the results looked pulled and stretched and didn’t last very long was that we weren’t really restoring youthfulness. Now there is a better more natural way”

You mean that a facelift really doesn’t work!

“No, it works to lift the facial structures and remove excess skin but it really doesn’t address the real causes of the aging face.” “The effects of aging in the face consist of three elements: Loss of facial volume, we deflate, Loss of elasticity, especially in the neck, and Loss of the smooth texture of the skin, we have fine lines and rough surface. So pulling and stretching just results in a look that looks pulled and stretched. And doesn’t address the root causes of aging in the face”
