Program #13
Gordie Howe, ski champ Todd Brooker, even the great one, Wayne Gretzky, is showing early signs of osteoarthritis. In fact, 3 million Canadians suffer from the most common form of arthritis, and they're not all athletes.
New research is giving people hope and treatments are improving, but not soon enough for some. Whether it's your sister having liposuction or Grandma getting her wrikles zapped, cosmetic surgery is no longer just for the rich and famous. And it's no longer just for women. Men are having their eyelids done and their love handles trimmed. But what is the price of looking younger and sexier again? What should you know before you book that facelift or that tummy tuck? We talk with Dr. Wayne Carman, the founder of the Cosmetic Surgery Institute.
