Nip This Tuck That

 Beverly Hills is the capitol of the beauty buisness (PLastic & Cosmetic Surgery) because of the proximity to Hollywood.  The TV and movie biz needs a steady influx of beautiful people for you to admire and we…..the Beverly Hills Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeons are ready, willing and able to do our part in providing the latest Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Procedures.  I know…I know…it’s a tough job but someone has to do it. 

 Frankly, sometimes I am amazed that a grown man, such as myself, with some 10 years of intense medical training sits around and thinks of ways to make people more attractive?  What, you thought that there was some medical book…..some course taken in medical school called “good looking 101?”  I am sorry to burst your bubble but the training that Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeons undergo is technical in nature.  Learn the anatomy, learn the procedure and how to perform it step by step.  But what is attractive?  What is beauty?  These questions are never answered in any great detail….and even more unfortunate, potential Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeons…those guardians of your good looks…never have to proove that they recognize or understand beauty as a prerequsite to enter training or as a condition of graduation.  That’s a problem!  Want a designer who doesn’t understand the beauty of different design elements?  How about a composer that can’t appreciate the richness that certain note combinations create?  Get the picture?

Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery and Beverly Hills Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, in my opinion, is all about human beauty…the understanding of what that beauty is and ultimately how to create it for my clients!  To me that is the essence of my job…it is what I do and what I stand for!  So, how did I resolve the conflict of not being taught the essence of my field.  I asked questions!  I asked questions of myself, my instructors, experts in the field and ultimately as a Virgo…and a Virgo Dragon…I came to a point of personal enlightenment so that I was able to do my job to my full potential. 

 I remember the conflict as if it happened yesterday.  I finished my Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery training, here in Beverly Hills, with some of the best known and respected Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeons of the time.  My first year as a Beverly Hills Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon was one of exploration.  As I did Facelifts, Rhinoplasties, Blepharoplasties, Chemical Peels, Collagen, Liposuction and much more… I realixzed that I didn’t understand what made a woman trluly gorgeous or a man really handsome.  I found that disturbing.  My iron-clad training seemed to have some chincks in its armour.  I have trained surgeons in training since then and I realize that it’s not part of their training.

 I spent the next 2 years in a continuous quest for knowledge of what beauty was…what it meant to be attractive.  I analyzed thousands of beautiful men and women looking for some discernible pattern….anything.  When the dust settled, I had developed my “Palmer Beauty Principles” that define and quantify human beauty.  For the next decade I used these principles on countless patients to successfully improve their appearance.  Honestly, I was certain it would work but it was great to actually see it work time and time again.

 Once I was convinced that my “Palmer Beauty Principles” were the key to making people more attractive, I set out to tell the public.  I believe that everyone should understand what makes them attractive…whether, or not, you ever choose to do anything about it…you should have the right to know.  You can read about the “Palmer Beauty Principles” in my blog roll or go to my website and learn more on the subject.  I’ve done all the hard part…all you need to do is read them.  It couldn’t be any easier!  You can also read the write of my “Palmer Beauty Principles” in the 50 Most Beautiful People Edition of People Magazine.   Read article here: http://www.drfpalmer.com/media_view_17.html
