INTRODUNTION

This book is the result of work that has gone on in the establishment and functioning of the Institute for Control of Facial Aging, in New York City. The Institute is staffed by accredited plastic surgeons and dermatologists and has as its function the centr4alization of specialized knowledge for the prevention and treatment of facial aging all under one roof. For years those of us in related fields have offered partial prevention and therapy to our patients in so far as our individual practices allowed. Here we have developed a specialized medical center designed to teach you how to prevent, or at least slow down, the process of visible facial aging, and to offer you won?t get older; it does mean that we deal with the problems of accelerated aging and attempt to keep vital people looking vital and graceful.
The purpose of the Institute is not to keep you ageless, but rather to help you look your best for your stage in life. There are many simple and intricate procedures and therapeutics; there is much basic knowledge and much modern-age scientific technology that falls into this sphere. We have found a great deal of success utilizing this specialization which has been so successful in all other fields of medicine. We have no miracles, but the results are good, visible, and sensible. This book will tell you a lot of what we know, and in most aspects of dealing with facial aging will help you apply much knowledge to your own case.
We have attempted to organize all available information in this book in exactly the same manner as we organization and offer care to our patients in our institute. Aside from some general information about aging and skin and some scientific razzle-dazzle to impress you, we have three pertinent sections. The first is ?preventive maintenance?: how to prevent accelerated aging, to slow down normal aging wherever possible, and in general to keep your skin and your appearance in tip-tip shape. Section Tow is concerned with offering you some of the many simple old and new procedures designed to eliminate, alter, or disguise some of the earlier and more minor signs of aging. Techniques vary from chemical applications, injection therapies, and minor surgery, to peels and dermabrasion. This is the section concerned with first deep wrinkles, bags under the eyes, the vertical lines in the upper lip, the frown lines in the forehead. The third section is a great deal more surgical and deals with the information and techniques available to reverse significant signs of aging. Eyelid lifts, facelifts, neck lifts, and surgery are explained in this section.
These three main areas of clinical interest are laced throughout our book with important information about various therapeutic substances, skin cream, cleansing methods, and even makeup. The idea is to pick the proper ingredients for your skin, to understand why you age, to try and intercept the process, and to undo damage as soon as you find it. We are decidedly not of the school that believes in showing up at the plastic surgeon?s office with dark, leathery and elastic, hanging skin. Sure, the facelift yields dramatic change but only because we are dealing with black and white. The result would be far more pleasing if the skin were not allowed to age and become like leather, if it remained more elastic, and if the facelift were done earlier. It is far more graceful to re-drape and tighten healthy skin than to deal with tough, damaged hide.
Our idea is to give you the benefit of a visit to the Institute for Control of Facial Aging without the cost or inconvenience usually involved. This book should provide a major step toward self-help in intelligently dealing with the problems of facial aging. The more you can do for yourself, the less you will need us. A visit to the Institute for Control of Facial Aging constitutes what we call a multidiscipline approach. You are first required to complete an extensive medical information questionnaire. Thhen, new electronic devices are used to measure the elasticity, moisture content, acidity, and oil activity of your skin. You are then seen by a dermatologist who reviews your history, studies your skin, and notes your needs for the prevention and reversal of early signs of aging of your skin. You also comment on the general care of your skin. Next the plastic surgeon repeats the process and discuses procedures available to enhance your appearance and erase the visible signs of facial aging. Therapeutics are provided and skin-care routines are suggested and reviewed with you by the cosmetology technician. Next the information is computerized and stored for your follow up visit. At that time the results of your treatment are appraised and a written report sent to you.
Naturally you cannot get all of this from a book, but the Institute is based on the information in this book, and certainly the evaluation and prevention chapters are easily self-applied. Understanding the scope of the available medical and surgical treatment certainly serves you well when and if you seek medical help.
