“When I was a child, my father had a lumpy growth behind his ear. He always joked that it was a little extra space for his brain. His father also had one on his forehead. I expect that as I age, I will have one, too.” Small “lumpy growths” on the head, especially the forehead,…
It seems like everyone these days is talking about dermal fillers and injections. You see the movie stars and A-listers with over plumped lips and cheeks, frozen foreheads and mouths.

Problems with pimples? Most of us go through that phase during our teen years. It might have even left some scars if your outbreaks were severe enough. But you probably expected to leave the acne behind by the time you were 25, 30, or 40 years old. We’ll bet you were surprised to find it…
Your ears: though they provide the soundtrack to your life, you probably don’t think about them except when you run a q-tip around the outside after your shower or put your earrings in. But if your ears stick out from your head or have “lop ear” deformity, you might think about them a lot more…
