Outside Lower Eyelid in Toronto Canada
Surgical rejuvenation of the eyelids or Blepharoplasty is a procedure usually performed on otherwise healthy patients who may have excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyelids. The operation is done to rejuvenate the eyelids and achieves a more youthful appearance.
An incision is made in the lower eyelid just underneath the lid margin where a normally occurring line or crease exists. The skin is gently pulled back to allow access to the area.
The tissue is dissected to the underlying fat pockets. The surgeon will gently press on the eye to better expose the fat that will be removed.
The pockets of fat are exposed and a series of surgical instruments are used to remove the fat.
The excess skin is pulled away and removed.
The wounds are closed with suture of the surgeon's preference.
Sutures may be removed in 3-5 days. Healing time may take up to two weeks. The patient can expect to see swelling and bruising during this time. It is possible that it may take several months before final results are achieved.

Toronto Tokens vs. Tickets
If you have decided not to purchase a daily pass (and they are an excellent option for those who intend to use transit a lot, especially for families), you may want to purchase tokens instead of tickets. They're equally valid at collector's booths and when boarding busses/streetcars, but the TTC also offers separate and automated token and metropass-only turnstiles at all stations which are often much quicker than waiting for the queue in front of the collector's booth to clear.
Tickets may be purchased from many convenience stores (look for a TTC sign in the front window) and a few hotel desks as well as collector's booths at any subway station. Tokens may be purchased from vending machines in stations and from collectors. Bus and streetcar drivers do not offer change and do not sell tickets or tokens.

- BBC news reports that the manufacturers of Gaviscon (Reckitt Benkiser) maintained an effective monopoly on the market for years after Gaviscon came off patent. An investigation for the BBC’s Newsnight programme has found that executives at the company prevented other manufacturers from selling generic versions of Gaviscon by creating obstacles. According to BBC news, a generic name should have been published in 2000, the company objected to this and did so again in 2003, 2005 and 2006. In each case it quoted health and patient safety as the reason for its objections but internal documents accessed by BBC Newsnight give a different story. A former senior executive said Reckitt had "cheated the NHS" and could have saved it "millions of pounds". A competition lawyer has told the programme that some of the emails and business plans he had examined raised the question of whether Reckitt had been in breach of competition law. The BBC news report notes, “Nine years after its patent elapsed, Gaviscon still has 88% of the market for alginic acid compounds in the National Health Service and there is still no generic name. Generic copies of Gaviscon could have saved around £40m from the drugs budget since 1999.” The report also adds that Parliament's health select committee is expected to investigate the Gaviscon case. The company has told Newsnight that it had never objected to a generic name being published, "the timetable of which is not within our control". The company did say that it would be taking action in relation to some of the internal correspondence from 2003, discovered by the Newsnight investigation.
The Newsnight programme will be broadcast at 10.30pm on Friday 7th March on BBC Two.
