Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery “Tip of the Day” from Dr. Francis R Palmer, III Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon.

Did a Celebrity Lift with Geometric Neck Lift on a major celebrity this morning.+�-� So much extra skin that I spent 10 minutes on one side of an incision making sure the closure looked perfect….I thought to myself “That’s my career in a nutshell….it’s all in the details.+�-� The details to get the aesthetics right for each individual (what’s going to make them more attractive), formulate a plan using various Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures and treatments and then meticulously carry out those Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures and/or treatments…sometimes down to a fraction of a millimeter of skin removal to make the incision perfect.”+�-�

I have always said that a gifted Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon must have the following characteristics:

1. The eyes of an artist… you must be able to regocnize and re-create beauty…it’s what we do.

2. The hands of an angel…you must be able to gently and deftly handle tissues of the human body.

3. The heart of a lion…you must have the courage to do what needs to be done no matter the pressure…no matter what.

I never said the job of a Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon was easy…just exciting.

+�-�Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery “Tip of the Day” from Dr. Francis R Palmer, III Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon.

+�-�It’s always gratifying to receive accolades from colleagues in your field.+�-� here’s an e-mail sent to me from a Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon in Europe that I thought I’d share with you.+�-� It highlights what I’ve said on my blog over and over.+�-� The US in general and Beverly Hills particularly have the highest trained Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeons in the world…bar none.+�-�

+�-�Dear Dr.Palmer,

I found a courage to write you this short email,+�-�after I found out on web that you belong to the top ten plastic aesthetic surgeons and I would love to have+�-�really professional advice+�-�for my issue.+�-�

I am+�-�a plastic surgeon, in present opening my own private practice in Austria. Originally I come from Slovakia, but I did my training abroad.+�-� I would like to ask you for a kindness. I would like to ask you for your oppinion(as you are+�-�very experienced professional) what are the best books as for a facial plastic surgery, it means, for facelift, browlift-foreheadlift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty(also as for Asiats), facial implants(included chin surgery), etc.+�-� plus also as for any books for body procedures(breasts, lipo, thigh-buttock lift, etc), and finally as for chemical peeling, botox, mesotherapy or other typical procedures+�-�for+�-�aging skin.

Please, it is very important to me, as my colleagues say completely different books and to decide about which ones, as there are very expensive, I do not want to buy ones which are not worth it. As I appreciate your oppinion, I would be more than pleased by your professional advice.+�-� I know you are very busy, but please, I will be very grateful if you find any time for me to reply.+�-� I wish you the very best at work and also in your private life.+�-� Once again, thank you very much.

A very nice note.+�-� I told this Plastic Surgeon that training and experience makes a Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon…not the books he/she reads.+�-� Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon is learned and honed, as a skill, by doing….it’s not a spectator sport…not something that can be learned by reading alone.+�-� You have to do Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery procedures to learn them…and do them over and over and over many, many times.

+�-�+�-� I Have several topics to discuss today:

1. The Celebrity Lift is more popular than ever and why not.+�-� Under a local anesthesia in less than 90 minutes, you can look 10 years younger with no recovery, small incisions and dissoveable stitches.+�-� I know this sounds too good to be true but it’s like all great things…it’s simple and uncomplicated.+�-� Aren’t those the things that work the best?+�-� Of course they are and my Celebrity Lift certainly fits that bill.+�-�

+�-�+�-� I have been quite amused at the outpouring of acceptance for this procedure…it seems that once people come in for a consult or have an e-mail consult over the net and find out that we aren’t kidding about this procedure…they typically book their surgery date right on the spot.+�-� It’s almost like they’re afraid I’ll wake up and change my mind about the procedure.+�-� I won’t.+�-� It’s a great procedure.+�-� I created it because I believed it would do just what everyone wanted it to do.+�-� Make them better looking with limited surgery and downtime.+�-�

2. Ashton’s band (really Ray J Norwoods band and Ashton sings lead vocals on some of the songs) has 2 fantastic new songs that they are letting out….I’ll have mp3 files posted here in a few days for all of you to hear.

3. Not to be outdone…here’s a blurb about Evan playing on his high school volleyball team in the ventura paper.

Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery by Dr. Francis R Palmer, III Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon.

+�-�Finishing up by new book that I hope will be available to you before the end of the year.+�-� I think you’ll find the information new and exciting.

+�-�Working on a couple of difficult cases of Cheek Augmentation with Cheek Implants other than Silastic material which frequently present significant problems when attempting to remove and replace them.+�-� I’m now getting those patients to undergo a 3-D scan of their face and head will literally allows me to see the face 1 layer at a time.+�-� This allows for more accurate assessment of where the implant is and whether it has completely been absorbed by the cheek tissues…in which case there is nothing to remove.

+�-�The Celebrity Lift seems to be the most popular procedure as the weather warms an thougts go to weddings, class and family reunions.+�-� Seems lots of people want to look 10 years younger in 90 minutes or less and the Celebrity Lift is just the ticket.

+�-�Because of such high surgery demand, we have expanded our operating time and days to accommodate as many people as is humanly possible.

Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery continues to provide challenges by Dr. Francis R Palmer, III Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon.

+�-�After 18 years of practicing Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery in Beverly Hills, I still get a challenge now and again.+�-� It happened last year when a celebrity challeneged me to come up with a less invasive, highly effective procedure to make them look younger…and the celebrity Lift was born.

http://www.drfpalmer.com/PalmerCelebrityLift.html

+�-�Just the other day, a consult presented with a complicated history of previous Rhinoplasty seeking me to do a revision Rhinoplasty and a revision Chin Implant/augmentation.+�-� When I examined the operative reports, it was immediately apparaent that the patient was not aware of the type of procedure that was previously performed…and I could not redo that operation.+�-� AsI have mentioned numerous times on this blog….Rhinoplasty is the most technically challenging Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery procedure that I perform.+�-� If you want a Rhinoplasty or revision Rhinoplasty…seek out the best trained, and yes…it will cost you more, Rhinoplasty Surgeon you can find.+�-� http://www.drfpalmer.com/Rhinoplasty.html

+�-�I’m working out the details for a terrific Plastic Surgery show and trying to explore the possibilities of doing an additional show.+�-� I feel that at this stage in my career, after 18 years as a Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon with practices on 2 continents, I have something meaningful and valueable to say to you the general public.+�-�

I know that there isn’t enough time in the day for+�-�me to personally operate on all of you out there that are seeking to improve your appearance…that’s not possible but it is possible for me to teach you the things that you need to know before someone else does your Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery whether it’s a Rhinoplasty here in Beverly Hills or a Face Lift in New Jersey.+�-� My tough love approach to Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery can be the difference between you having a great outcome and you being miserably dissapointed.+�-� Yeah, I have something to say….

The Courage of it all by Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Francis R Palmer, III.+�-� Did you ever stop and think about the courage involved in some professions?+�-� Policemen and women risk being shot and killed each and every day….Firemen and women risk injury and death from fire….the very thing that would terrify most of us, they have to bravely battle and how about our servicemen and women who face our enemies in war and police actions each time they are deployed.+�-�

+�-�As I conclude a particular tough and challenging week…one that took some measure of courage for me to do what I felt was the right thing to do as a Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon…I have to remember that as tough as my profession can be at times, there are ones that are far more challenging…ones that require far more courage than mine and it is to all those brave men and women that I dedicate this blog entry.+�-� Thanks for your courage and your service and God Bless us all.

+�-�Just got word that a Major Magazine in the UK is running a story of our “Celebrity Lift” as one of the latest innovations in Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery and the beauty biz.+�-� I couldn’t agree more.+�-� here are the advantages of the “Celebrity Lift” over Face Lifts and Necklifts.

1. Samller incisions…much smaller in the order of about 1/4 the length.

2. rapid recovery time….many patients put the hair in front of their ears and go out the very next day.+�-� Here’s a picture of a patient 18 hours after the “Celebrity Lift”.

This procedure was featured on The View:+�-� http://drfpalmer.com/movie/index.html

+�-�3. Highly effective at removing the signs of aging from the face and neck…muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed all with minimal tissue dissection…which means less surgery time and a quicker recovery.

I am thrilled that the word is spreading……around the world.
