Word of the Day:

MEANING
adjective
In physics, it’s the action or property of like molecules sticking together.

In the plastic surgical world, we use this most often when talking about "Gummy Bear" Breast Implants. These are made of a highly cohesive silicone gel. Unlike older liquid-filled implants, if you were to cut a cohesive implant in half, the gel stays exactly where it is, like a gummy bear! The migration risk is dramatically decreased if the shell is compromised.

Do you know what a cleft earlobe is? This is when the earlobe is split. It can be caused by genetics, but it is more commonly the result from trauma (like when an earring cuts through the earlobe.) A cleft earlobe can be corrected with a straightforward procedure that is performed in-office under local anesthesia.

Who has time for a 10-step skincare routine? ? Besides, it might be doing more harm than good. More products doesn't equal better skin.

If you want healthy, resilient skin, you really only need the "Essential Four":

1. A Gentle Cleanser: To remove pollutants without stripping your natural oils.
2. Vitamin C/Antioxidants: Your daytime shield against environmental damage.
3. Retinoid (Vitamin A): The gold standard for cellular turnover and collagen.
4. Moisturizer with Broad-Spectrum SPF: Hydrates and protects against UV.
