US general gets a new look in India
 Marc Sommer, a major general in the US army a chiropractor, usually worked to make sure his patients never needed surgery. But last week, Sommer himself went under the scalpel for a facial rejuvenation. Looks like surgery is sometimes unavoidable, he said with a smile.
Sommer, 58, underwent a rhytidectomy (facial rejuvenation in cosmetic surgery parlance) at Breach Candy Hospital last Friday after he lost 35 pounds as part of his diabetes treatment. The dramatic weight loss made the skin on my face sag, he says. I had no jawline or neck; only folds of skin. A face rejuvenation procedure like the one Sommer underwent, usually requires eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), a forehead lift and chin augmentation. Usually, such a surgery would leave a patient with a prominent incision starting at the temple and running all the way down to the back of the neck. |
