BLEPHAROPLASTY may be performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation or with general anesthesia.  The incisions are designed to be concealed within the natural folds of the eyelids in order to keep the scars as invisible as possible.

The studies, including a report by the Institute of Medicine, have concluded there is no convincing evidence that breast implants are associated with either of these diseases.

THAT’S RIGHT! Silicone filled breast implants are back. The question is did they ever really leave us? In order to answer that question we first need to look at the implant’s history.
