Facial plastic surgery: Does it make you look younger or more attractive?

A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Facial Plastic Surgery looked at how much younger people appeared after certain facial plastic surgery procedures. It involved one rater looking at before pictures and guessing the patient’s age and rating their attractiveness. A different rater did the same with the after photos and the results were compared. On average, the patients ...

Haiti trip - September 2013

Haiti trip – September 2013

Dr. Call, my former partner, and I returned to Haiti last week for another marathon session of surgery with the locals. My last visit was in March and Dr. Call hadn’t been in the interim, so we had quite a few waiting. This trip was different in that we are now sponsored by LDS Charities. We were not only going to perform surgery, but also to do some fact finding on what support LDSC could give in the form of ...

Dark Circles Under Eyes: 5 deep tear trough treatments

We’ve talked before about dark circles under eyes. One of the most common causes is a deep tear trough. The tear trough is that depression extending from the inner corner of your eye diagonally toward your cheek. This depression occurs where the facial fat has thinned out and dropped down into the cheeks. The bone of the ...

Some thoughts from the Third World (a term that needs to go away)

Some thoughts from the Third World (a term that needs to go away)

I’m on my way back from another week in Haiti. I had many profound, disturbing, humbling and enlightening experiences. I thought I’d share a few here and try and put in words what you would experience if you made a similar trip.

First, I wanted to address the title of this post. The “Third World” is actually an outdated and useless term, which came about after World War II to describe countries that neither belonged to NATO or the communist bloc. ...

How to get the best brows for your face

Posted by:

Eyebrow trends change with time, but droopy brows are never in style. When the brow starts to descend, it can cause a hooded look pushing down the eyelids and leaving you looking tired. While you can’t avoid getting older and losing skin elasticity, there are several ways to approach beautification of the brows.

1. First, figure out the best eyebrow shape and color for you, and actively maintain it. Choose a shape you like, but keep it natural. An overly-thin brow ...

Earlobe gauges: Reversal may be on the rise as the trend dies out.

Posted by:

We’ve all done things to our look that down the road we regret. A bad haircut or perm, rocking the blue eye shadow a little too hard, countless fashion choices that expired days after they were hot. But for some choices, a change is more difficult than just changing your wardrobe or letting your hair grow out. Ear gauges have been trendy for several years now, with some taking it to extremes creating massively stretched out lobes. Many people choose ...

Humanitarian trip to Haiti 2012

Posted by:

I was invited to accompany Dr. Branson Call, my recently retired partner, to Port-au-Prince, Haiti in late spring of this year. He has been traveling there on humanitarian missions for about 10 years making several visits per year. In January of 2010, Dr. Call was in the operating room, getting ready to start surgery on a Haitian man when he says the floor started rolling and the lights went out. All in the room hit the floor and for the ...
