BEAUTY IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
A plastic surgeon does not simply alter a man’s face. He
alters the man’s inner self. The incisions he makes are
more than skin deep. They frequently cut deep into the
psyche as well. I decided a long time ago that this is an
awesome responsibility and that I owe it to my patients
and to myself to know something about what I am doing.
No responsible M.D. would attempt to perform extensive
plastic surgery without specialized knowledge and training. Just so, I feel that if changing a man’s face is going
to change the inner man as well, I have a responsibility to
acquire specialized knowledge in that field, also.

DISCOVERY of the “self-image” represents a breakthrough in psychology and the field of creative personality.
The significance of the self-image has been recognized
for more than a decade. Yet there has been little written
about it. Curiously enough, this is not because “selfimage psychology” has not worked, but because it has
worked so amazingly well. As one of my colleagues expressed it, “I am reluctant to publish my findings, especially for the lay public, because if I presented some of
my case histories and described the rather amazing and
spectacular improvements in personality, I would be accused of exaggerating, or trying to start a cult, or both.”
