There are several important truths about aging. Namely, that it is both universal and inevitable.

If your social calendar is not filled to the brim this holiday season, and you actually have more time on your hands than you know what to do with, it could be great timing for plastic surgery or other large cosmetic procedures.

There is no shame in wanting to look your best and even different if that’s what you prefer. Recent statistics reported that cosmetic procedures for men…

Time, overexposure to sun, improper skin care, and a poor diet can result in loose sagging skin along the jaw line, visible banding of the muscles beneath the chin with excess skin (neck waddle), and loose jowls which decrease the definition of the lower…
After years of touch-up with Botox, fillers, lasers, and anti-aging products, it may be evident that only surgery will provide the results you desire.
