Understand your goals and find a surgeon you trust

Armando Soto, MD answers: PSP facelift results as dramatic as SMAS facelift?

I am seeing a surgeon tomorrow, who suggests going ahead with a PSP Facelift. I'd like to know first, will PSP facelift results look as dramatic as SMAS facelift?

Hi- I agree with my colleagues below- you should try not to get caught up in the nuances of the various techniques available- the most important factors in the achievement of your goals are a very clear understanding of what those goals are on your part, a clear communication of those goals to your surgeon, and finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon that you trust and get along with.

Your surgeon's training and expertise, your ability to communicate clear goals to them, and a positive relationship between the two of you are much more important to the likelihood of you ending up happy than the details of the technique chosen for your procedure.
