You’ve heard of “Physician, heal thyself”, right? Well, take a look at this dental surgeon who underwent the knife himself! Dr. J is a successful dentist with a practice that has him traveling between California and New York. This in-demand physician decided to undergo a facelift in order to keep him looking and feeling at the top of his game. Having undergone cosmetic surgery on his eyelids, cheek and neck, the good doctor now shares his advice with us!

With his knowledge of the field, Dr. J stresses the importance of following post-operative instructions. Too often, patients get impatient and don’t follow their doctor’s advice, leading to infections and other issues. Dr. J also advises that those considering plastic surgery make sure that they find a doctor who is accredited.
