Save Your Face by Brooke Rutledge Seckel

I thought the book was a great overview of all the different options available for those looking to slow the aging process. It is written in a concise and easy to read manner just summarizing all the creams, treatments and facials available. It is not an in-depth medical book nor does it have patient stories. It is just a brief, easy to read, explanation of what is available. Myths and truths.

An excellent discussion of facial aging

Doctor Seckel has accomplished something that few physician-authors can equal. He has produced a book that can be used by medical students, residents and private physicians as an excellent and scientifically accurate guide to the treatment of facial aging. The book goes into a fairly long, but necessary, background treatment of aging skin, along with the caveats that could spare a gullible patient a lot of unwanted expense and sometimes scarring of the face and other side-effects. It is a scholarly work, but also can be read by the average patient for guidance. It is mostly about the non-surgical treatment of this condition, but he does have some discussion of some surgical techniques. As a physician and a network book reviewer I applaud his work and look forward to later and periodically updated versions of this book.

An Honest Wrinkle Cure

Today's women find themselves asking, again and again, how do I separate fact from fiction when it comes to facial aging? Bombarded daily by gimmicks and promises of `the fountain of youth,' women concerned about anti-aging treatment need the knowledge and expertise of a seasoned professional. And that is where Dr. Brooke R. Seckel's new book, Save Your Face: The Truth About Facial Aging, Its Prevention, and Cure comes in. Dr. Seckel, a plastic surgeon and Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, is an internationally recognized expert in the field of facial rejuvenation. Save Your Face provides an articulate and easy-to-follow guide that that "tells it like it is" - sans marketing. Throughout the course of the book, the reader feels as if he or she is having a personal consultation with a sincere and knowledgeable source. Along with the text, Dr. Seckel's charts are comprehensible and figures add another dimension to his explanations and suggestions. As an active member in the fields of personal enhancement and plastic surgery for many years, even I am baffled and confused by the incessant announcements of new wrinkle cures and facial rejuvenation `miracle procedures.' How does one discern the evidence from the marketing? Dr. Seckel's new book answers this question in a straightforward manner, providing important information for the lay reader and medical professional alike. I can say with conviction that I have never read such a comprehensive book on facial ageing.

The "Ralph Nader" of Facial Aging

More people want to know the real truth and nothing but the truth when it comes to facial aging. If you are tired of gimicks, rip offs and false claims then "Save Your Face" is the book for you. Dr. Seckel has provided his readers with a well written, easy to follow guide that "tells it like it is" without trying to sell you anything. His sincerity, knowledge and expertise is clearly evident. As I read it, I felt like I was having a personal consultation. His charts are easy to comprehend and illustrate what works and what does not. I have been a skin care professional for over 20 years and was thrilled to find that all my questions were answered. I have never read a book on facial aging that covered every topic in such detail. FINALLY....someone is telling the truth with no strings attached. This book is a keeper because it is something you will refer to time and time again. More importantly, "Save Your Face" could really save your life.
