What a drag is it getting old… unfortunately aging is inevitable. Lines and wrinkles start showing up on our faces as early as our 20’s due to the sun, smoking, environment, and lifestyle. The mouth is one of the first places to age; it sags, thins out, and deep folds start to form as gravity…
As we age, gravity acts on our facial skin and soft tissues and is unforgiving. Everyone ages differently either from genetics or the way skin has been treated through the years.

Opting to undergo facial plastic surgery can not only provide a younger looking appearance but also makes…
Have you ever felt like you were in a revolving door at your doctor’s office? I can recall appointments when a doctor doesn’t even look me in the face because they’re in such a hurry. It’s unfortunate when doctors feel the need to rush because they need to see more cases to get more money,…
We’re all aware of the over exaggerated marketing efforts to brainwash consumers into believing they “need” items or services. There’s always a newer, better, more effective, healthier, promise attached.
