Probably a better statistic would arise from doctors doing laser vs. technicians doing it? At any rate, I like this kind of dialogue: thoughtful and excellent. And “argument,” by the way, does not necessarily mean “argumentative.”
I have taken several classes with physicians on laser. Their depth of understanding was profound. Very smart guys.
Again, from my own experience, the several surgeons I know are frighteningly smart. My “own” Dr. Chapple is not just a great surgeon; he’s one of the best doctors I’ve ever met. I sometimes think I’ve “got something on him,” and he’s always way ahead of me. He seems to know, well, “everything!” (I just won’t ride in his “Alpina” because he drives WAY too fast!)
I should do some before and after photos because, on Monday, he’s doing some fat injections on my face. He’s filling in the areas that are getting hollow. This is a great procedure (under local, by the way … and LOTS of it! About 80-100cc.). No chance of “rejection,” because the tissue is your own. The harvested area, however, looks frightful: completely bruised. (I don’t have too much fat, but there is some on my butt.) I suppose you can now call me “butt face?” Which is fine; I’ve been called much worse.
Photos? You want to see this procedure? I’m really not shy at all!
