The Michelangelo of Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Submitted by Meg Wilson on January 2, 2007 - 13:09.

The Los Angeles Times has a good interview with Dr. Bruce Connell. Many plastic surgeons regard Connell as the Michelangelo of facial aesthetic surgery.

He is 79 years old and still operates with a steady hand. He says he had his first facial surgery in his mid-50s. "I looked tired. Pull of the frontal muscles. Came with time. Did not represent the inner feeling. I see lots of patients that way. This pulls—" He points toward the space between his brows, at the vertical lines plastic surgeons call "the elevens." "They look angry. It just comes with some people—the face begins to look like a basenji dog's."

Five or six years later, he says, he had a second procedure. "I looked too much like a hound dog. Sagging of the deep tissues and the skin too."
