Read Dr. Lam's Chapters with Caution..., February 14, 2010
This review is from: Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation: A Practical and Systematic Guide to Surgical Management of the Aging Face (Hardcover)
To all plastic surgeons who read Dr. Lam's books please read his books with EXTREME CAUTION. His writings only conforms to his own aesthetic tastes and you may not achieve the results you may expect using his methods. I saw many plastic surgeons before seeing this man and their strategies, methods, and aesthetic tastes were completely different from his. Must of what he writes about is based on assumptions as opposed to facts. You can also look at his online videos posted all over the web which mentions the techniques in these books and when you do, watch with caution. I'm left with an extreme grotesque looking face with too many side effects that this self professed "artist" inflicted on me. I am doomed to medical bills and revision surgeries to repair the damage he has inflicted on me and I've sought for help and have obtained revision work to repair the damage Dr. Samuel Lam inflicted on me. Not only does it look horrible (lets just say its bad enough for me to be a candidate for a talk show on botched plastic surgery at this point), but there are side effects that Dr. Samuel Lam does not even begin to discuss in his work.
Doctors, you MUST be aware of all the side effects that can happen before you try a new technique! Please do it for the patients who trust their lives in your hands.
