As we age, tissues across our bodies sag, lose elasticity, slacken, and generally become quite annoying. It’s inevitable, but we all like to look as young and healthy as we can. That’s why when the skin and support tissues of our forehead and brow area descend, it can be depressing. This works to make us […]
Often when looking at an older person, it appears almost as if their skin is a size too big. The problem is volume loss along with skin that has lost much of its elasticity as time has passed. Volume loss is mainly a factor of decreasing collagen. Collagen is a protein that is responsible for […]

Our bodies change with age. However, some patients experience more significant changes than others. This includes women who may notice changes to their breasts. The breasts can change dramatically with time due to puberty, hormones, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the natural process of aging. However, this doesn’t mean that women have to deal with unwanted changes […]
