Background: Chin implant augmentation is a common facial plastic surgery procedure that is not typically associated with wound healing problems. While the aesthetic outcome may be up for discussion in some cases, implants generally heal with a very low rate of infection or incisional wound healing problems. This is because the overlying soft tissue chin Read More…
Background: Some women seek a natural breast augmentation result. That look is open to various interpretations amongst women but most of the time means a breast mound that is less full on the the top than on the bottom. This is the natural shape of the breast particularly as women age. Since most breast implant Read More…
There is no substitute for what a custom jawline implant can do for reshaping the lower third of the face. By virtually expanding the outer corner of the entire jawline a true 3D expansion/reshaping of the face results. Unlike the use of more standard chin and jaw angle implants which are smaller, the question arises Read More…
Background: The shape of the skull is most easily seen in men. Due to short hair or a shaved head, the outline of the head from all angles can be discerned. A more masculine head shape is open to interpretation and has probably never been clearly defined. But it could probably be defined as one Read More…

Canine (dog) Read More…
Underdevelopment of the calf muscles in congenital clubfoot is a common sequelae no matter how timely or well primary treatment for it is done. Such underdevelopment of the lower leg, particularly in asymmetry or unilateral involvement, can be a source of patient sensitivity and lowered self-esteem. Calf muscle hypoplasia can be treated successfully in both Read More…
The broad surface area of the forehead seems like a relatively simple facial area to augment. But in reality it is much harder to do so successfully than it appears. Getting the right implant shape and contour, having it blend smoothly into the upper temporal areas and not being overdone or looking unnatural are all Read More…
Background: Skull shape abnormalities are well known and are most commonly recognized in congenital deformities. These are often fairly severe and may require early infantile cranial vault surgery. But there are a variety of more modest skull shape aberrations that affect a far greater number of people and would be considered more aesthetic in nature. Read More…
Background: Chin reduction is a procedure that is largely done in females. While a larger chin is often tolerated in a man, it is much less aesthetically pleasing in a female. It is the converse of a small chin which is far more tolerated in women than in men. While chin reduction is done in Read More…
