Dear Dr. Rusca,
Tomorrow I will be 63 years old, and I suddenly find myself getting friendly looks and smiles from 25-year old girls. Flattering as that is, the real benefit from the face and eye surgery that you so masterfully did is what it has done for me psychologically. I have always enjoyed good health, but when I entered my sixties, I began to think of myself as an old man, no longer planning or thinking of my life and my career as I did twenty or thirty years ago.
Today, when I look in the mirror, I see the man that is the real me. I see a man in the most productive years of his life. A man still ascending.
In all fairness, I must also tell you about the down side. I can no longer ask for the senior citizens discounts because no one will believe me.
Many thanks,
DS
