My journey with Gynecomastia.

As I was sitting on the beach with my family on vacation in Cancun recently (with sunblock on and in the shade!), I couldn’t help but reflect on how much my gynecomastia surgery has changed my life.

Sleeping can cause damage that doesn’t even cross our minds until it crosses our skin. Enter the enVy® pillow. The enVy® pillow, which was featured on Season 9 of the CBC’s Dragon’s Den, is an anti-aging/anti sleep wrinkle/therapeutic pillow. … Continue reading »

Why your surgeon loves fat.

Once upon a time in an operating room near you, plastic surgeons hated fat. No matter what the body part, it seemed that all we wanted to do was to cut it out, suck it out, burn it off and just plain obliterate it. We had declared war on fat. My, how times have changed. These days, fat is the darling of plastic surgery, both in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.  I can’t seem to open an aesthetic surgery journal, a textbook on reconstruction, or attend a plastic surgery conference without hearing about what’s new with fat. There is cutting-edge research looking … Continue reading »
