Dr. Silich has compiled these informative videos on plastic surgery based on his own presentations to potential clients. Plastic surgery is one of the few areas in medicine where results of the operation other than the patients health and safety are paramount concerns of both the plastic surgeon and the patient. While there are not many doctors who routinely perform bad knee surgery, there are plastic surgeons that perform bad plastic surgery. Having performed numerous plastic surgery procedures in Manhattan, from liposuctions to face lifts, Dr. Silich has a unique perspective when it comes time to help patients with their decisions. One of the first steps that Dr. Silich encourages his patients to take is to completely and thoughtfully examine their face and its features. It is important to do this at night. After sleeping, the face retains liquid which gives a deceptively prevalent appearance to lines and wrinkles.
