Advertising and claims

This site describes operations by technique class and does not name a brand of product, suture or device, does not quote prices, and does not claim that a complication will be reversed or that a revision will restore a previous appearance. It states risks, limits and alternatives, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for revision surgery

Because revision surgery is a real operation with real limits, this site states plainly that a second lift has less to work with than the first, that scars are permanent, and that operating before healing has finished usually produces a worse result than the one being corrected. It does not present a revision as a remedy that removes the consequences of the first operation.

Reviewer and review cycle
