From the Publisher:

The book reading public today is barraged with a confusing array of books promising an easy solution to the problem of facial aging and facial wrinkling. Many unfounded claims are made and false and sometimes dangerous cures are promised not only in books, but on the web and all other media sources.

Dr. Seckel, a Plastic Surgeon with 25 years of experience, an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, and an internationally recognized authority of facial aging has wriiten an honest, scientifically accurate and referenced book on this very contemporary and poular topic.

His main focus is educating the reader to understand facial aging and the confusing array of "cures" that are heavily marketed to the public, and helping the reader choose the best and safest alternatives for their own personal use. This book is intended to promote public and patient safety in a field which is widely advertized and very popular in contemporary American Society.

From the Author:

Facial rejuvenation, or the correction of wrinkles, sagging skin and other signs of the aging face, is one of the most popular topics in Platic Surgery today. There are over 11 million Plastic Surgery operations performed in the United States each year, and over 20 Billion dollars are spent on facial creams to remove wrinkles and restore youthful facial skin.

Unfortunately many of the face creams have not been proven to work in scientifically controlled studies published in reviewed medical journals. In addition many people have had surgery or new procedures they do not need or worse have procedures done by unqualified people and are injured.

I have wriiten Save Your Face for my own patients and for the general reading public to educate them about why the face ages, how skin aging changes can be prevented, and how to avoid being taken advantage of or worse, injured while pursuing facial rejuvination.

I am not selling a product nor am I pushing an operation, a laser, or some new "no down time proceedure". I am only writting a book that tells the truth about this very popular field.
