From bestselling author and beloved social media star Dr. Anthony Youn comes a revolutionary step-by-step guide to reversing the effects of aging at any stage in life.
Growing older is a blessing. But the slow decline and the loss of functionality associated with aging has led us to treat the process like a disease. These negative effects of aging, however, are not inevitable.
Rather, they’re essentially the result of environmental and lifestyle factors that, when properly addressed, can be reversed through a process called Autojuvenation™.
Younger For Life is the culmination of Dr. Youn's 20 years as a plastic surgeon, and a guide to looking and feeling your best, naturally.
In this page-turning, thrilling, and moving memoir, Dr. Anthony Youn reveals that the true metamorphosis from student to modern surgeon occurs not in medical school but in the formative years of residency training and early practice. It is only through actually saving and losing patients, taking on the medical establishment, wrestling with financial and emotional survival, and fighting for patients’ lives that a young doctor becomes a competent, holistic surgeon.
Dr. Youn takes you from the operating rooms of a university surgery residency program to the gleaming offices of top Beverly Hills plastic surgeons to opening the doors of his empty clinic as a new doctor with no money, no patients, and mountains of debt. Playing God leaves you with an unexpected answer to that profound question: “What does it mean to be a modern surgeon?”
Dr. Anthony Youn is the rare plastic surgeon who does everything he can to keep his patients out of the operating room. He’s spent the past 16 years researching the secrets of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, makeup artists, and dietitians, and he knows what works, what doesn’t, and what’s overpriced. Now he’s compiled all of the solutions to every cosmetic aging problem in this definitive anti-aging bible.
All Tony Youn ever wanted was to fit in. One of two Asian‑American kids in a small midwestern town, he was tall and thin with Coke‑bottle glasses, Hannibal Lecter headgear, a bowl cut, and a protruding jaw that grew even faster than his comic‑book collection. He finally got his chance senior year as he lay strapped in an oral surgeon’s chair having his jaw broken and reset—a brutal makeover that led him to his calling.
Full of heart and humor, a memoir about becoming a doctor that’s unlike anything you’ve ever read before.
