"Math doctor...I want to pull my face. "

A patient, four years old, came into the examination room.

Not yet sitting, he immediately said, "Doctor, I want to pull my face."

The doctor asked back, "Why do you think you have to pull your face?"

He picked up the phone. Open a selfie for the fortune teller.

"I feel like I'm old. When I take a picture, my face looks shabby, not bright. Deep under my eyes, my cheeks start to come."

While he was talking, the doctor looked at his face.

But the more you look...The fog felt that this patient was not yet in time to pull his face.

Because time will determine who is fit for face-pulling surgery. Doctors don't look how old.

But look how much the face is sagging.

For this patient

- The face frame is still clear.

- The cheeks haven't fallen.

- Almost no wattle.

- The throat is still tight.

What makes him look shabby isn't "slack face."

But because of the deep undereye, the skin looks exhausted, and some of the volume of the face begins to decrease with age.

The doctor told him, "The doctor doesn't recommend pulling his face."

The patient was surprised. "But I'm here for surgery."

The doctor explained that pulling the face was responsible for the slack.

If the main problem is not sagging, even with surgery, the results may not change as much as expected.

And finally, the most sorry person is the patient.

Many people understand that...The sooner you do it, the better, but in reality,

The right surgery is more important than the quick surgery.

Some are only 45 years old, but the face is very slack from genetics or weight loss, so it is suitable for pulling faces.

While some people are over 50 years old, but the skin is still tight, the tissue is still good, and surgery may not be needed.

Finally, the patient did not pull his face. The doctor recommended that he treat the real problem first.

Months later, the patient returned to follow-up with a smile and a sentence that the doctor could not forget.

"It's good that the doctor didn't rush the surgery for me that day."

This sentence makes the doctor even more convinced...

The surgeon's job is not to get all patients to operate.

"Do you need surgery today?"

Because the best treatment is not the most expensive or the largest.

But it is the treatment that matches the problem of the patient at the right time.

Sometimes...The best thing doctors can do for a patient may not be surgery.

But to "say you don't need surgery."
