“I NEVER LOOKED beyond SHELDON SEVINOR” 2008 The following is excerpted from an extensive letter I wrote to Dr. Sevinor 3months after my facial/neck surgery in 2008. It serves as a prelude to my current testimony. “Choosing a surgeon is the most important decision after the initial commitment. I had only one in mind: a man I had met 35 years earlier during his surgical training at Brown University-Rhode Island Hospital. From time to time over the years I had seen his office in Boston and thought: “If I ever summon up the courage for surgery, this is my man!” The impression he had made as a competent, detail-oriented, meticulous professional created a vivid memory. When I visited his website, I was delighted, consoled, and confirmed. When I consulted with him in person, all these years later, I was even more confident and committed. I had approached my decision for surgery using the “scientific method” I teach my chemistry students: formulate a purpose and hypothesis, experiment, gather data, make observations and calculations, get results, draw conclusions, reflect. I was not taking this surgery lightly. I had trepidations. I had never been hospitalized. I had only ever had anesthesia for short procedures, let alone “knock-you-out-for-hours-suspended-consciousness!” I did not want a “quick fix” process, so frequently advertised in the media these days. I did not want to be someone’s “Patient #1.” I knew that Sheldon Sevinor was a superb surgeon. Products tell the truth, and he had abundant visual evidence of his results. He provided me with the names of women who had recently had surgery. I called them and was further reassured. His discussion of my procedures, results, recovery, and expectations was detailed and supportive.” “I WILL CHOOSE DR. SEVINOR AGAIN!” 2012 Since my 2008 face/neck/eye lift, in 2009 I chose Dr. Sevinor for a mastopexy, and again I was totally pleased. The most visual result, I must emphasize, one that everyone notices, and how we relate to one other in every interaction: FACE-to-FACE! And it is here that Dr. Sevinor’s work is most evident. Now, four-and-a-half years later, my face and neck are defying my age, 66. Students who I have not seen in 25 years tell me “You haven’t changed!” and that is not mere flattery, for as successful adults they have nothing to gain by false effusiveness. I routinely admit my age and get looks of disbelief from my college students and others who do not know me intimately. World-wide, elective plastic surgery has increased exponentially. Accompanying this have been “professionals” who speak half-truths and promise unrealistic results in short time and at “bargain” prices. It just isn’t so. The maxim “You can’t get something for nothing.” is true in nature. In order to accomplish successful reconstructive results, the following are necessary: ? A recognized, board certified, experienced surgeon ? A healthy patient who is choosing surgery for the right reasons ? Recovery and follow-up “to-the-letter” by both patient and surgeon ? An accredited medical facility where the surgeon has admittance privileges I may be due for surgery again in my early 70’s. I will again turn to Dr. Sevinor! No one else!
