Background: In an era where it is common to see an adult male with a shaved head or a very closely cropped haircut, the shape of the head takes on great aesthetic significance. Not only are large head shape issues glaringly apparent but small ones that would normally never be seen with a head of Read More…
Background: The size of one’s head or shape of the skull is usually congenitally controlled. While microcephaly is a pathologic skull development condition that restricts brain development, some patients have small narrow heads but not true microcephaly. Sometimes called ‘peanut heads’ and often having issues with wearing hats or helmets their head shape might be Read More…
The most simplest definition of vertical orbital dystopia is that the eyes do not lie on the same horizontal plane. While it could be that the abnormal eye sits too high, it is far more common that the vertical direction of deformity is that it sits lower than the opposite normal eye. This can occur Read More…
The lacrimal glands are paired small sacs of exocrine glands that are normally located just under the edge of the lateral orbital rim in, appropriately called, the lacrimal fossa. They are responsible for secreting the aqueous layer of the tear film. While small, about 1 x 1 cm in size, it has two distinct lobes Read More…

This can be overcome in many cases by the natural stretch of the overlying and surrounding tissues, which while deficient, are pliable and elastic. In more severe cases of microtia a first stage Read More…
In rhinoplasty the only structure in the nose that is unaffected by osteocartilaginous maneuvers is the nostril base. When they remain wide, narrowing procedures can be done and are the last step in any rhinoplasty surgery. Alar base reduction is generally considered when the interalar distance exceeds the intercanthal distance. While often creating a minor Read More…
Buttock augmentation continues to grow in popularity and is done most frequently by fat injections. (Brazilian butt lift) But not everyone has enough fat to harvest for a successful autologous buttock augmentation and not every fat-injected buttock ends up with the patient’s desired volume. As a result, the use of buttock implants has also grown Read More…
The use of injectable fillers has a wide variety of aesthetic uses throughout the face. They provide a non-surgical approach to facial augmentation and in some cases are a good substitute for surgery, albeit often on a temporary basis. The appeal to the patients is that they obviously avoid surgery and even if it is Read More…
Tip projection is an important part of the nasal shape that can be changed in tip rhinoplasty surgery. Tip projection is different than tip rotation as the former pulls the tip of the nose away from the face while the latter changes the axis of the tip point around the sagittal plane of the face.
