@Real_EstateInfo Hilarious, but so very wise!
Eyelid surgery
Subtle nip and tuck
There are two arguments. Age naturally, or, do all you can to look your best for as long as you can.
True, genetics play a part in how we age. However, for most people over 50, hormone changes, stress and gravity conspire together to orchestrate an increasingly rapid decline in our faces – bags, lines, wrinkles and loss of volume, with dryness added in for good (or bad) measure.
Fillers, lasers, Botox and Thermage are some of the non-surgical options, and they can be very effective. When you want a more lasting result, or have a specific problem area you want to work on, surgery may be the answer. Many people are opposed to vanity surgery, but surely this is a personal choice.
Long gone are the days of dramatic – and weird-looking – facelifts, in Toronto at least. This is Tempo Toronto’s look at upper and lower eyelid surgery. Performed by Dr. Trevor Born, Toronto’s favourite cosmetic surgeon (who also offers plenty of non-surgical options), he has mastered the art of subtlety.
With eyelid surgery there are three parts: remove the puffiness, fill in the hollows with micro fat grafting, a technique he has perfected, and tighten the skin. Though intricate surgery, the results he produces have everyone guessing that you’ve either been on a great vacation, or are getting plenty of great sleep. Apart from closest family and friends, not one of our subject’s network knows that she has had ‘her eyes done’.
The surgical experience
Apparently, Dr. Born provides excellence in patient care and preparation. Here’s what we were told …
- Thorough and considerate consultation, pre-surgery. All options covered, all risks discussed.
Day of surgery: bags, sunken hollows and drooping eyelids
- Detailed preparation for surgery and recovery. No surprises on the day, or afterwards.
- Consistent excellence in patient care for several weeks before and after surgery. “Feels like you’re the only person who matters there.”
- Dr. Born focuses on optimal health before surgery, and is a believer in homeopathy and effective supplementation to position you for rapid healing.
- Extent of bruising, pain and swelling, and downtime after procedure exactly as described.
-
Two months after surgery, wide-eyed
- Back in circulation after two weeks, swelling and bruising gone and great result obvious in less than a month.
- Dr. Born cares deeply about his work, his patients and their results.
The results
You can make your own judgment from the photographs (all unretouched, all without make-up). The important thing to know is that the subject was thrilled. Was it worth it? “The pain and suffering was minimal, my bags are gone and my top eyelids don’t droop any more,” she told us. “I was really concerned that I would lose my smile lines, but I didn’t – they are just a lot softer now. The best part is that I don’t look ‘done’, just naturally refreshed. I’m very happy with the result.”

Batty eyelashes – now there’s hope
Lamenting lashes no more
“Give it to me with all speed!”
Well, what would you say if Toronto’s leading cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Trevor Born, told you he had a product that could help grow long sweeping eyelashes in three months, and show an improvement in just four weeks? Admittedly, they weren’t the shortest eyelashes ever, but Christina was convinced that her almost 60-year old eyelashes were markedly stubbier than they had been in her glorious, wide-eyed youth.
One of Toronto’s most respected Cosmetic Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Trevor Born (a clinical lecturer and instructor of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Training, with expertise in the fields of facial rejuvenation and body contouring) has the skinny on a miracle liquid that will, within three months, render your eyelashes to the state they were many decades ago, or perhaps even better. It is a pharmaceutical creation, which means you have to get it from a doctor, and you have to apply it daily for 12-16 weeks to get the optimum effect. There’s some after-growth maintenance too.
