Youthful, alert eyes can communicate an attractive vitality. Aging eyes, and in some cases, genetics, can create an older, tired appearance. I often see men and women who are considering eyelid surgery because they have wrinkled skin, droopy eyelids, and fat bulges under the eyes. In some cases, however, surgery isn’t necessary. Non surgical eyelid …
A C-tuck is a procedure that's the subject of a lot of media buzz recently. It involves undergoing a tummy tuck immediately after a scheduled cesarean (C-section) delivery. For some mothers, it may seem like combining a C-section with a tummy tuck would be an ideal shortcut. But there are several problems with this idea. …

You might have read about drains during your tummy tuck research. Tummy tucks are popular for creating a flatter abdominal area, along with a couple of other interesting perks. But the surgery is also well-known for another reason: a longer recovery time than many other plastic surgery procedures. Surgical drains serve an important purpose in healing …
The eyes are the focal point of the face and play a key role in the way we come across to others. When drooping eyelids cause you to appear tired or worn, an expertly performed eyelid surgery can open up the face and create a more awake and youthful look. I have dedicated years of …
When I meet with patients considering a facelift at my Toronto practice, they often aren’t sure if they are ready. With the rise of injectable fillers and other nonsurgical options, people tend to put off a full surgical facelift for as long as possible. Many people believe they must reach a certain age to be …
For many new moms, the bulging, hanging skin and fat in the lower abdomen can be a frustrating area to correct post-pregnancy.
