We are interested in learning about face lifts done on Parkinson's patients. (My wife is a 2-3 year afflicted Parkinson patient. She realizes the Parkinson mask she is beginning to experience will worsen and that a face lift won't fix it. At this point, her face is getting droopy, not frozen. Her neurologist has no knowledge of this area. Do you know of any docs who have experience in doing face lifts (or literature) on Parkinsonians? Our questions are: 1) Does a face lift achieve some improvement? 2)If so, to what degree and for what period of time? 3)Is it recommended for a relatively young patient (40)? 4) If you don't know, to whom would you recommend I address this inquiry? 5) Is there a list serve of docs who work with Parkinson's that we could subscribe to? 6)Is there a Parkinson's scientific journal(s) (not just a general neurology journal) that publishes research we could subscribe to? We are already on the mailing list for the APDA, National Parkinson Foundation and the PDF, but we want to keep up to date on scholarly, scientific, peer reviewed studies, not just layman's literature. Thank you for your help. Barry
