Question : I notice that when I am not smiling, it looks like I am frowning. People actually comment that I seem angry. I don’t know if this involves just my mouth or both my mouth and eyes. Would a consultation help me identify whether I need a cheek lift, an eyelift or both?

Question:
What's the difference between reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery?
Answer:
Plastic surgery can be divided into two categories, reconstructive and cosmetic. Reconstructive surgery changes function and structure that must be changed, eg for skin cancer or a cleft lip and palate. Here is a link to some of our reconstructive work:

Cosmetic surgery changes your appearance because you want to change it, not because it needs to be done.
