As a leading Seattle facial cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Young understands that the influence of beauty affects us constantly. Beauty influences how much we trust and are drawn to others, as well as what others think of us. During his medical training and mentoring with some of the world’s top surgeons in Los Angeles, California, Dr. Young noticed that there were many results in Hollywood that appeared less than natural. He thought to himself, if people with such influence and resources are also getting these results, there possibly could be something wrong with the way we were doing our plastic surgery procedures. Indeed, he found that plastic surgeons were still using antiquated theories from the 14th century based on Leonardo Da Vinci. He further found that since then there had been little advances in these theories. This lead Dr Young to study the patterns of beauty over several years. After much hard work and intensive research he set out the parameters of beauty in his groundbreaking theory, The Circles of Prominence, which has been acclaimed around the world. Dr. Young has utilized his beauty theory in more than 1,200 facelift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery procedures, and more than 3,000 other cosmetic and reconstructive treatments. With his extensive experience and industry changing understanding of aesthetics, Dr Young has developed an amazing minimally invasive technique called the YoungVolumizer. With all of these elements, Dr Young is able to personalize a plan and reveal the younger and natural-looking you.
