EXCLUSIVE Internet is calling New York man's facelift one of the best ever performed … what do YOU think?
A 70-year-old man seems to have reversed time after a series of surgeries took decades off his face - and his plastic surgeon is now revealing what he had done. Dr Ramtin Kassir, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon recently shared the results of a facelift he performed on the unnamed elderly man. According to the New York City-based surgeon, the patient disliked his tired and aged face and wanted a refreshed and rejuvenated look. So, he underwent a series of facial surgeries that have him now looking like an entirely different man, as viewers say this is the 'best male face-lift' they have ever seen. Dr Kassir revealed that his patient's beautification process was comprised of nearly a dozen different procedures, including a face, neck, and eyelid lift and fat transfer. Priced between $20,000 to $80,000 all together, these procedures can give a person natural looking facial results that do not look overdone. Dr Norman Rowe, a board certified plastic surgeon who was not involved in the procedure, told a revision deep plane face and neck lift is a longer lasting facelift that typically results in a more natural looking appearance than a regular one. Dr Kassir said the man had come to him after he 'had a lot of weight loss,' which left him with excess skin on and around his face - prompting the need for the multiple procedures. All of the surgeries included: a revision deep plane face and neck lift, revision upper and lower blepharoplasty, endoscopic forehead and brow lift, septorhinoplasty, CO2 laser resurfacing, fat transfer to face and chin augmentation. A revision upper and lower blepharoplasty - eyelid surgery - involves removing and repositioning any excess fat around the eyelid. This can help restore symmetry and balance to the eyes, as well as give them a more lifted, wider and more open appearance. A septorhinoplasty is an operation that reshapes the nose, as well as straightens a deviated septum - which can make it hard to breathe. Not only does it help with function, but it can make the nostrils, and nose as a whole, have a more uniformed look. Dr Rowe said: 'Our nose is usually the first thing people see about us in our face. Therefore, crooked or too large or too small of a nose is quite noticeable. 'A rhinoplasty can change the shape, size and appearance in the nose to dramatically improve someone's outlook and self-confidence.' Additionally, the patient also underwent a revision deep plane face and neck lift to make his overall look become more youthful. Dr Rowe told 'There are two ways to do a face and neck lift. They both involve tightening the muscle of the face. This muscle is called the sub musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). 'The doctor can either resect a portion of the muscle and sew it together tighter or in the case of a deep plane facelift, go underneath the muscle and pull it tighter from the edges, much the same way as pulling out a wrinkle in a carpet.' A deep plane facelift leaves the skin firmer, smooths wrinkles away and contours the jawline, which gives the face a more youthful appearance. As compared to a regular facelift, a deep plane facelift provides better results as it focuses on deeper facial tissues that can provide a more natural look without a 'pulled' or 'tight' appearance. Similarly, an endoscopic brow lift lifts the forehead and eyebrows using small incisions in the scalp. While a chin augmentation focuses on improving the shape, size, and/or projection of the chin by either surgically inserting implants or advancing the chin bone. Dr Rowe explained: 'The chin and the nose are the two structures that project from the face. 'They go hand in hand and in a lot of instances, in order to improve the appearance of the face, not only does a rhinoplasty have to be performed but a chin augmentation at the same time if the chin is too small.' A less invasive procedure the man had was a CO2 laser resurfacing, which focuses on the layers of skin rather than pulling any part of the face up. Dr Rowe told the website: 'Our skin is made up of two layers - a superficial layer and a deep layer. CO2 laser resurfacing removes the upper layer while leaving the lower layer intact. 'A new upper layer grows back with less wrinkles and a more refreshed look.' While many of these surgeries involve removing excess skin, Dr Rowe explained it's necessary for some fat to be added back to give the face a youthful look - prompting a fat transfer to face procedure , which was also done by Dr Kassir in this case. Dr Rowe told the website: 'There's a reason it's called baby fat, fat makes us look young. In some instances as we age we lose fat, and it needs to be replaced in order to maintain a youthful appearance. 'To do this, fat is removed from one part of the body via liposuction and placed in the area that's needed to improve the appearance.' Typically, these procedures would take anywhere between one to six months to completely heal and for results to appear. However in this case, Dr Kassir was able to showcase his work two weeks after the elderly man went under the knife. And Dr Kassir's fans have since been left in complete awe of his 'natural looking results,' claiming that the man 'looks years younger.' Some also claimed that the patient looks 'almost like a totally different man' and that he 'looks refreshed, not overdone' - fulfilling his desire.

US farm agency to allow three more states to bar some items from food aid
WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Tuesday signed waivers allowing Arkansas, Idaho and Utah to bar participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program from using their benefits to buy certain processed foods like soda and candy. The administration of President Donald Trump has encouraged all states to request such waivers as part of its Make America Healthy Again initiative fronted by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Rollins had previously signed waivers from Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska to restrict SNAP purchases of soft drinks, energy drinks or candy. "It's about nutrition, and there's no nutrition in these products. We shouldn't be paying for them with taxpayer money," Kennedy told reporters at a press conference alongside Rollins. Additional waivers from Colorado, Kansas, West Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Florida and Louisiana are under review, Rollins said. Kennedy and Rollins also reiterated earlier statements that they plan to release an updated version of the nation's dietary guidelines this summer. Rollins said the guidelines will be released "very soon" and emphasize whole, nutritious foods. More than 41 million people receive SNAP benefits, sometimes known as food stamps. The tax and spending bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in May and being considered by the Senate would shrink SNAP enrollment by hiking work requirements to receive the benefits and moving significant costs for the program to states.
