The Face of the Future: Look Natural, Not Plastic: A Less-Invasive Approach to Enhance Your Beauty and Reverse Facial Aging Paperback – September 26, 2012

Dr. Jacono is an amazingly talented doctor who has found innovative ways to enhance naturally with different techniques and options available to all. For those who don't want evasive surgery and just need an enhancement with surgery Dr. Jacono has found ways to work with all different types of people and situations. Having personally undergone plastic surgery by Dr. Jacono I would highly recommend his talent and his techniques. His work is his passion and he truly aims to please and takes his work personally and is a perfectionist. This book gives insight and describes all options. Anyone who is thinking or interested to learn about new innovative techniques to help enhance and beautify should read this book. Most people have no clue about what plastic surgery is really about or there options, this book will enlighten them.

I found the book informative and easy to read. I read it cover to cover very quickly though I skimmed some parts. I was very interested in the advice Dr. Jacono gave about which sunscreens to use and I was very interested in the ultra sound device procedure for firming skin around the jaw. However, when I asked my dermatologist about the ultra sound device, she said it has not had much of a track record so far. She said devices are much easier to get FDA approved than cosmetics. She said the former model of the ultra sound device required such high dosages to achieve results that the treatments were too painful and not very effective. She said she has not seen any significant improvement with the newer device. As for sunscreens, she said there are many on the market that meet the requirements of skin protection and that the titanium and zinc oxide are only needed if skin is especially sensitive.

If one is considering any type of non-surgical or surgical procedures of the face this is a must read. It discuses all treatments from skin care products to fillers to plastic surgery in very easy terms to understand with photos. It is very educational.

The Face of the Future is an excellent guide to staying ahead of the aging process. What I found particularly interesting was reading about the science of what makes one "beautiful". Non invasive (including injectable treatments, laser procedures, as well supplementation) and invasive procedures (such as surgery) are both addressed giving the reader a great sense of what is available in the world of facial enhancement. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone curious about what their options are for staying youthful and attractive.
