The Future Is In Your Face!
Introduction:
"Was this the face that launched
a thousand ships. And burnt the topless towers of Illium?"
Why Dr. [Omitted] wanted to write this book
"The face is your passport through life, to success, to adventure. Figures and physiques are important, but the face is what people look at most. When referring to the 'thousand ships' sent from Sparta to retrieve Helen from Troy and start the Trojan War, Faustus speaks of the beauty of Helen's face, not her figure. The face is from where people draw their first impression.This book is about your face, your first impression. I wrote it to help you make the best impression you can. In it, I will explain the causes, effects, and solutions to the most common and notorious elements attacking the skin: acne, aging, hormones and the environment.
In addition, the adolescent years have been disregarded in the discussion of caring for the face. Through puberty, teens are becoming part of the adult world feeling hormonal changes, stresses, societal pressures that have incredible impact on the face. We will speak to the issue of teen facial issue in this book. I'm sure everyone will find something of help in what follows."
Dr. [Omitted]
Purpose of this Book
In this book I discuss the causes of undesirable facial conditions, aging, acne, skin irregularities caused by hormones, stress, nutrition and the environment. I will reveal acne's notorious secret, which I have medically patented as "Skin Diabetes."I will share all of the steps necessary to address these skin conditions and achieve optimal skin clarity and restoration of youth. In this book is the information needed to terminate the activities, reduce exposure, and eliminate foods responsible for these conditions. Finally, I will discuss the secrets to repairing and reversing
existing damage.
Since puberty is a strong trigger of hormones which often cause many skin conditions during a time when being attractive is very important, this book those specific hormonal problems.
Some of the causes to skin conditions are beyond our control. But we do have some control over some of the causes.
Europeans are known for their stereotypical flawless complexions. Few Europeans suffer from breakouts, or premature aging, even though they are known to indulge in foods and habits we normally associate with poor complexion: croissants, heavy cheeses, and smoking. However, the key is "moderation." Food portions are smaller, and ingredients within their cuisine are natural, and free of chemicals (harmful free radicals). Unlike the United States where food is heavily laced with chemicals and hormones to increase
"production volume."
The slower pace of Europeans plays a role in their skin clarity. They take their time eating, enjoying their meals, unlike Americans who will wolf down a burger while running to the next event in a schedule designed to insure they are late. Part of this overburdened schedule is the stress it creates. Stress is a big
cause of less than desirable skin clarity.
The point is that the exterior and environmental stresses of American life, combined with nutritional and internal imbalances, are reflected directly through our faces. This can appear as unfavorable acne breakouts, or as premature "weathered" and sometimes wrinkled skin.
Who is Dr. [Omitted]?
Dr. [Omitted] M.D. is the founder and medical director of the [Omitted] of Chicago. He has specialized in liposuction/lipotherapy, plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery and related procedures since 1981. Dr. [Omitted] has performed or supervised probably more liposuction/lipotherapy, plastic surgery, and cosmetic surgery procedures than any other American surgeon. He is recognized as a pioneer in the development and use of new techniques in current use. He has designed several of the modern surgical instruments currently used in liposuction and fat transfer.Educated at [omitted] Medical School, he is ingrained in the traditional medical practices of cosmetic surgery, but feels he is not bound by any restrictions those practices might impose on innovation in the field of cosmetic surgery. Perhaps because he was raised in Egypt, Dr. [Omitted] takes a holistic approach to cosmetic issues.
The Future Is In Your Face is not Dr. [omitted] first book. His book, [omitted], (ISBN [omitted], 1988) is one of the most respected reference textbooks on Liposuction.
His medical affiliations include:
- Board Certified, International Board of Plastic, Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery
- Board certified, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine
- The American Medical Association (AMA)
- American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, Full Fellow
- The American Society of Liposuction Surgery
- La Societe Franacise de Medecine Esthetique
- Union International de Medecine Esthetique
- The American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery
- Diplomate of The American Society of Bariatric Physicians
- The European Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (EACS)
- Board Certified, American Board of Family Practice
- Full Fellow, American Academy of Family Practice
"Dr [Omitted] is aware of the most advanced technology and procedures to deliver the best possible treatment to his patients."
-- Dr. Richard Caleel, past
president of American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery
"Dr. [Omitted] was very candid and he was very true to his word. He didn't try to get me into his office. I would have no hesitancy going through my procedure again. Most cosmetic surgeons will tell you not to expect too much from results of the procedures. I found Dr. [omitted] to be beyond a person's expectation in this arena. He remains the doctor I would consult. Because I was aging and because I do different TV things, I really couldn't be off of television for a long time with a minimal risk and he did not under or over estimate the risk."

author of 15 books, patient.
How this book is laid out:
This book is segmented in the way you, the reader, sees challenges for the face (Acne, Aging. etc...), not by procedure. Most people reading this book wouldn't know if they need a Mesotherapy or Derma Genesis procedure, so why segment a book that way. You, the reader will know if you have an issue with acne or aging. So, that's how this book is structured.Each segment of this book will begin with an easy to understand laymen's description of a challenge for the face and the symptoms manifested by that problem. Following this will be an explanation, again in lay terms, of the options available for counteracting that specific problem, starting with the least invasive (non-surgical) and most preemptive options, then moving toward the surgical procedures.
Following the lay explanation will be a "For Those Who Want To Know" section with a more technical or medical explanation that at times will include illustrations.
"Truly, THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR FACE. It's right, waiting for you to step into it. So, let's take a look at how important your face really is."
- Dr. [Omitted], M.D
