Despite warnings, many people who undergo cosmetic surgery believe it is harmless to continue smoking against doctor’s orders. Unfortunately, there are many real dangers associated with smoking before and after cosmetic surgery. We know that smoking is deadly and that smoking ages us by decreasing elasticity (leading to earlier sagging and wrinkling of the skin). [...]
In human skin, epidermal cells in the deeper (basal) layer are constantly dividing; these new cells then rise through the epidermal layers to the surface and flake off. The entire epidermis renews itself every two to three weeks. Over time, our skin suffers the abuse of daily living (such as sunlight, stress, pollution). The cell [...]

Q: I recently saw a plastic surgery procedure on television where liposuction was used with a facelift. Dr. Langdon, is that something you recommend?
