Illustration by Dr Sam Lam found in his book “Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation”- Chapter 7
It is funny that this illustration is so outdated from how I perform the featured procedure today. Still I love the illustration and used it to convey how alternatively one can perform this procedure at a conference I directed just this month. I guess I used the drawing because I liked the style of it more than the content. This drawing comes from the first book I wrote that was published wow 7 years ago, which seems like a lifetime. I really learned so very much from one chapter to the next while doing these illustrations. In fact, I clearly recall doing one chapter, liking what I did, going on to create another set of drawings for the next chapter, then hating all my previous work forcing me to start from scratch on the previous chapter’s work. This ferocious level of insanity continued until I finished the book’s illustrations, about 80 or so in total. Chapter 7 indicates that this was one of my more mature efforts, as I learned to harness the power of the Illustrator program for optimal beauty and communication.
