I was invisible and now I feel people notice me – presented by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle:
That was what a women told me one day about her experience with aging. My patient once told me that she used to be pretty. When she was young people would look at her. As she aged, she noticed that people began to not notice her as much. The more she aged, the more and more she began to feel invisible. Invisible, wow, what a word to describe how you used to feel. I was moved by this comment. I thought, how lonely would that feel if you were actually invisible to the world. Aging really affected her. She wanted to feel like someone special once more. I performed her facelift a couple of years ago and she said that this little transformation made her feel much less invisible and she told me that was a great feeling. Although, facial rejuvenation may not be the one thing that can change you life in a little way. For her it did. That made me feel really special, that I could somehow contribute to someone feeling less invisible. That really made an impression on me. Stories like this keep me going. They keep me searching for better ways to improve my patients lives. Stories like this push me to find how to attain beauty for people in a natural way. I love what I do! Here is a video on facelifts and how they help crowsfeet.
