Aging, sun exposure, and genetics can contribute to the development of sagging or puffy eyelids. While eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, has traditionally been a popular solution, it can seem daunting. Ask anyone who’s had Lasik. Blepharoplasties are a little different than laser eye surgery… but they still garner some apprehension from patients. Ultimately, there is nothing that will be quite as transformative as a surgical procedure. But as a clinic that tailors every procedure to each individual, we also know that surgery isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. While our surgeons are exceptio ..read more

Speculation has been running rampant that celebrities near and far have had this particular procedure to accomplish an angular, chiseled look. Buccal fat removal shines as a transformative option to enhance your facial features if you choose to opt for a more structured, V-shaped appearance. This procedure aims to slim the cheeks by reducing the volume of the buccal fat pad. While buccal fat removal can provide desirable results, it’s essential to make an informed decision before going undergoing any type of surgery. To help you on your journey, here are three critical questions to ask yourse ..read more

Death and Taxes may be the two certainties of life, but I would add that aging is also inevitable. Aging is a natural part of life, and as we grow older, our skin inevitably starts to show signs of the lives we lead. There are plenty of interventions available for folks who want to turn back the clock, so to speak. The most notable is a facelift. For many individuals, the idea of undergoing such an invasive and intensive surgery can be intimidating. The good news is that non-surgical alternatives to facelifts have become increasingly popular in recent years, offering safe, effective, and mini ..read more

Scars. They’re a pesky result of life’s battles. Everyone has some version of a scar, whether it be stretch marks, keloids, atrophic, hypertrophic, acne-related, we are all sporting some scar somewhere. Scars form as the outcome of our body healing itself. Most scars are superficial—that is, occurring on the skin, where we can see them. But some scars are internal, and I don’t mean to drive into the emotional realm here… while something like heartbreak can form psychological scarring, some conditions and procedures create actual physical scars within the body. These inner scars are not someth ..read more

A breast reduction can be a life-changing procedure. Plenty of patients seek out this operation because they’ve had trouble with the size of their breasts for a long time. Maybe your breast volume has limited the kinds of activities you can engage in or the kinds of clothing you feel comfortable in. It might be impacting your health in other ways. Maybe your breast size is causing unwanted side effects concerning your posture, or perhaps it’s resulting in irritation around the breast crease. Whatever the case may be, a breast reduction offers you a chance to intervene with some of the difficu ..read more

Contouring your jawline can be the key to getting that “snatched” look that everyone craves. The chin and neck area often increase in laxity and gain fat as time progresses, so some patients look to different treatments that target these areas. There are other reasons, besides aging, for why patients may experience sagging and excess skin around their chin. Diet, lifestyle, and hereditary factors come into play. Whatever the cause, since the face is our most prominent feature and our jaws frame our faces, you may decide to research some of your options. You’ve got some strong non surgical opt ..read more
