Life is too short to look sad and tired all the time! But that is the way we may look after too many days in the sun, too many years, or too much stress and worry. When we are babies, we have round cheeks and full healthy faces that are very appealing. But, over time, we loose fat under our skin, creating sunken cheeks and depressions under our eyes. These changes not only make us look old and tired, but they can make us look sad, even when we are happy. Why not do something about the sad, tired, stressed-out look? Today, you can have a dramatically happier appearance without surgery.

Under normal circumstances we hardly notice people's ears. However, if the ears are very large, prominent or distorted, they tend to catch our attention. Prominent, protruding or poorly shaped ears can be flattened, and contoured to a more elegant form with ear reshaping surgery. The cartilage in the ear is responsible for its shape. The cartilage is flexible and elastic so it can be bent but will return to its original shape. By altering the amount, thickness or shape of the cartilage, the contour of the ears can be permanently improved.

Cosmetic surgery for your eyes can lift your spirits and improve your appearance. Dr. McBride performs cosmetic eyelid surgery to correct problems associated with sun damage and aging. If your wrinkled, puffy eyelids make you look tired or older than you feel, or if your eyebrows are heavy and low over your eyes and make you look serious or angry, you will benefit from an eyelid lift to remove excess skin and/or a browlift to elevate the brows and lift the upper eyelid skin.

Good face lifts are invisible. You don't notice them because they look so natural. The natural, "couldn't tell you had a face lift", face lift is the goal for us. The result should be so natural, with no distortion or imperfections, that you simply look younger, slimmer, more athletic and attractive. How you got that way should be almost undetectable. Dr. McBride's EasyLift provides the perfect way to a natural, youthful face.

The luminescent glow, round cheeks and soft-as-silk skin that babies are born with are universally appealing. But age and sun damage take a heavy toll on our skin. Over time, facial skin thins, creating sunken cheeks, unattractive lip lines, and depressions under the eyes.

The dermis is the skin layer responsible for the skin's elasticity and resilience. The dermis functions as the skin's support structure, containing collagen, elastin and biological substances whose main function is to hold moisture in the skin. One of these substances is hyaluronic acid. As we age, the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases and the elastic fibers become looser and tend to gather in clumps, creating wrinkles and folds. However, age is not the only cause of wrinkles. Smiling, frowning, squinting, smoking, sun bathing and pollution damage the structure of your skin, irrespective of age.

It is used where there is so much skin laxity that a good result cannot be obtained with liposuction and muscle repair alone, and where removal of excess skin in necessary.

Men and women who want a tight, athletic neck and well defined jaw contour choose liposuction surgery, sometimes in combination with other facial procedures to reduce areas that are resistant to weight loss.
