Nip This Tuck That

As readers of my blog, you are concerned with issues that effect your appearance whether that’s a Rhinoplasty, Face Lift, one of our own “Celebrity Lifts“ featured on “The View”, Breast Augmentation/Implants, Eyelid Surgeryto remove the tired look from your face, Cheek Implants, Chin Implant, fuller lips, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Botox Injections, Restylane, Radiesse, Juvederm, Evolence, IPL treatments for brighter, healthier looking skin or any combination thereof.

To say that your appearance is not important seems, to me, as inane because people wash their face, style their hair, use makeup and select clothes everyday in an effort to look good if not their best. The questions is…..do these things, including plastic and cosmetic surgery and treatments always improve your appearance?

If you follow the aesthetic principles contained within my new book “What’s Your Number…the palmer code” which represents nothing short of my operating manual for making people more attractive in the OR for almost 20 years….you will be more attractive whether you use makeup or have plastic and cosmetic surgery.

AOL has a review of my book…enjoy!

Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty remain at the top of the list of plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures year after year….

Does the nose and nasal surgery, called Rhinoplasty deserve all this attention, money and focus?

Sadly, No! And I say this as an experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeon with over 20 years experience. I do and have done many Rhinoplasty Surgeries and have answered many questions, right here on this blog, about Rhinoplasty before and after the surgery. I have however also cracked beauty’s code and there are numerous more important facial features when it comes to making you beautiful…then the nose.

If I told your your Face Number was on a scale of 100…how many points would you think the nose contributes…even if it’s perfect? 30, 20…10…how about 2-4. Surprised? Don’t be. Learn how to be beautiful using “What’s Your Number”(R) and the palmer code…..as outlined in my new book.

Rhinoplasty will always have a place in making faces more attractive but can not, does not and will never be the primary driving aesthetic force to make your face more attractive…the nose, is a bit player with a supporting role. We have all seen that when celebrities have plastic surgery.

The Palmer Code and What’s Your Number Blog

In my opinion, the most glaring deficiency with most face lifts and facelift procedures is their lack of aesthetic effect to the cheeks and the middle portion of the face….including the nasolabial folds (that bit of fat and skin that goes from the nose to the corners of the mouth).

As the face ages, tissues shift downward and inward creating these folds and lessening the aesthetic beauty of the cheeks, from which this tissue has fallen. The result is the face becomes elongated, aged and more masculine in apperance. That’s right..whether you are a woman or a man…your face becomes relatively more masculine in appearance as you age. Increased length and angularity are the key components to this un-aesthetic transformation for women are should be the key components to correct with any facial rejuvenation using plastic and cosmetic surgery oir procedures.

OK…so you’re asking. “I’ve looked at my face and compared it with a photo of my face when I was 20 or 30 and I see what you say and I’m a believer…what now?” Glad you asked….first I suggest you learn the aesthetics of facial beauty found in my new book “What’s Your Number….the palmer code. Then be certain that any soft tissue filler like Restylane, Juvederm, Evolence, Radiesse, Perlane or Sculptra is done with the intention of creating the facial aesthetic features that will make your face appear youthful, attractive and natural looking.

The exact same thing can be said about face lifts, that in my experience for over 20 years of performing all variations of face lifts, neck lifts or mini face lift procedures….if the procedure does not result in the creation of a more aesthetic cheek and mid face area…..as outlined in my book…..the surgery will not, can not make your face as naturally beautiful, whether you are a woman or a man, than if this one aesthetic goal is accomplished.

That’s what I learned after years and years of performing and analyzing face lifts and their results.

My new book is not limited to the aesthetics of face lifts but goes into the overall aesthetic features of the face and body and how these may be acheived. Certainly the celebrities have a history of hit and miss when it comes to looking better after their plastic and cosmetic surgery…some look horrid, others, weird and some look fabulous.

Is it chance? Is it luck? NO….it’s simply whether, or not their plastic and comsetic surgeon acheived the aesthetically correct and important features of the face or body. If so…they look great! If not…could be a disaster. This goes for Eyelid surgery, Browlifts, Rhinoplasty, Breast Implants, Lip Augmentation, Tummy Tucks, Botox or anything that you do to improve your appearance…even your hairstyle and the kind of exercises you do. Lern how to get the best result….learn The palmer Code and Your Number.

Interestingly, I was doing a Celebrity Lift recently when the anesthetist told me she felt that the big, Face Lifts and Neck Lifts were making a come back as people became disillusioned with the garden variety mini face lifts, endoscopic face lifts and thread lifts that are being advertised and sold all over the media today. I’m sure you’ve seen the ads, comercials and billboards for this type of face lift procedure.

Not surprisingly, garden variety anything, including plastic & comsetic surgery and a face lift is sure to dissapoint. Do you start out asking for a garden variety procedure, Rhinoplasty, Eyelid surgery, Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Lip Augmentation, Cheek Implants, Chin Implant, Botox, Radiesse, Perlane, Tummy Tucks or IPL treatments? I bet not…because garden variety that’s the same everywhere as these procedures are advertised gives the impression that they are nothing special….not exactly awe imspiring is it?

You, you face and body are unique and if you’re looking for a natural, beautiful and youthful appearance…do you really believe average or garden variety will deliver that to you? I was not surprised by the anesthetist and I thought that more average stuff doesn’t it make it extra-ordinary…it’s still average, you just have more of it. Who’s looking for that.

I have always believed that truly inspired plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures like our “Celebrity Lift” are technologically advanced, aesthetically inspired and therefore yield the types of natural…youthful…beauty that you are looking for. The return to the big, pulled, long scars, long recovery face lifts of old would be like you going to work in a horse and buggy…great in its day, but it’s definitely time to move on.

OK, I know this sounds obvious but you have to admit that there are plenty of plastic surgery disasters and articles with photos that have shown people including celebrities that had plastic & cosmetic surgery procedures and look worse after the fact…not better. Their Numbers went down and in some cases way…way down.

So, what’s the deal…you ask. Simple, in my 20 years experience as a Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, I have learned to identify the most aesthetically important features of the face and body.

This is not taught to medical students or plastic & cosmetic surgeons in training as counter-intuitive as that sounds. They learn how to perform surgeries like: Face Lifts, Mini Face lifts, neck lifts, Brow Lifts, Eyelid surgery, Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Cheek Implants, Chin Implant, Lip Augmentation, Hair Transplants, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Botox Injections, Restylane Injections, Juvederm Injections, Evolence Injectios, Perlane Injections, Radiesse Injections, IPL, chemical peels or laser treatments. What constitues beauty may be as foreign to the dermatologist, facial plastic surgeon, cosmetic surgeon or plastic surgeon as martian would be to you. True fact.

You have some plastic & cosmetic surgery or procedure to look more attractive…right? Why is it that this does not always happen? They don’t (both patient and surgeon) know the secrets to the Number System and the palmer code….you need to be the one in charge of your appearance, your life…and Your Number.

My new book “What’s Your Number…the plamer code” is written so that you may understand the most important aesthetic elements, of the face and body, when it comes to your appearance. Then, once you digest that information the book takes you on a journey to personal transformation by allowing you to analyze all aspects of your life both inside and out. Whether you’re interested in a breast augmentation or in the best way to style your hair so you are more attractive…the information is all here in my new book. I figured out what beauty is and how to create in for my plastic and cosmetic surgery patients for 2 decades and now my trade secrets are available to all.

I recently had a patient fly in from out of the country and during her consultation she told me “I want to be a 100 out of 100.” Now, she was referring to her number and 100 is perfect. I spent the rest of the consult showing where her face and body deviated form a score of 100 and the various ways that she could approach that coveted 100. At the very least, My book offers a reliable set of references that we can can all use to communicate our wants, needs and desires. How much more precise was our conversation using my Number System that in the old days when patients would say…”I hate my nose….or My face is sagging…or I’d like larger, fuller breasts.” Now weall can speak the same language….What’s Your Number….and what would you like it to be? Read the book and find out.
