Dr Philip Young

Award Winning Facial Plastic Surgeon

Beauty Theorist and

Recipient of the Sir Harold Delf Gillies Award

Dr. Young is an Award Winning Facial Plastic Surgeon and Author of a New Theory on Facial Beauty - Although there are many reasons to choose Dr. Young, perhaps the single most important thing to know about him is his discovery of an exciting new theory on facial beauty he has coined "The Circles of Prominence". Dr. Young has continued to excel in his craft over the years. This has been demonstrated through his consistent high academic performance. In fact, in his latest board examination for physicians who specialize in plastic surgery in only the face and neck, Dr. Young scored the number one score in the country on the written exam. However, his discovery and his knowledge of facial beauty set him apart from other plastic surgeons even more than his academic excellence. His peers agreed that his theory and research was significant by awarding him the distinguished Sir Harold Delf Gillies Award seen below.

Why is this theory on facial beauty so important? Well the knowledge of facial beauty and what makes a particular face beautiful or not is like knowing the architectural plans for a beautiful house. A theory on facial beauty is our drawing board for knowing what to do during procedures. Did you know that prior to Dr. Young's theory on facial beauty we were still using theories that were developed more than 600 years ago? If you look at the most popular academic literature today, the dominant theory that plastic surgeons use is still the theory that Leonardo Da Vinci formulated in the 1400's. Up until Dr. Young's discovery, we haven't really made any significant progress. The question you might be asking is whether Leonardo Da Vinci's theory really explains beauty. In a word, they didn't. This has been proven in many studies over the last decade. Papers by Dr. Farkas, Dr. Porter, Dr. Borman etc. have shown that these theories, referred to as the "Neo Classical Canons", do not distinguish the average face from the beautiful face. But, plastic surgeons, nevertheless, use these theories to determine often how to make their patients beautiful.
