Plastic Surgery, through science.
Evidence-based information about plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, written for patients.
I use this space to answer questions that frequently come up during consultations, explain the anatomy and reasoning behind different procedures, and look critically at some of the treatments and trends in aesthetic medicine.
The aim is simple: to help patients understand what a treatment can realistically achieve, what the evidence actually supports, and where its limitations are.
Why You May Need a Brow Lift Instead of an Upper Blepharoplasty

Understanding whether the heaviness comes from the brow, the eyelid, or both is essential to choosing the right procedure and achieving a natural result.
