In recent years, we’ve seen the make-up trend “facial contouring” becoming increasingly popular.

If more prominent cheekbones are something you’d like to achieve, you may want to explore more about a buccal fat removal procedure. This blog aims to address y ..read more

It’s no secret that a facelift is capable of creating incredible enhancements, but many may not know that there are other procedures that can dramatically turn back the clock as well.

Stress can have some of the most significant negative impacts on the face and skin. From acne, dry skin, under-eye bags, redness, and wrinkles, stress can cause the skin to change in ways you don’t always expect.

Marshall Guy is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in The Woodlands, TX, who provides earlobe repair surgery with a quick in-office procedure, performed under lo ..read more
