Background: The correction of congenital skull deformities with early cranial vault reconstruction is a well established surgical therapy. Such early skull manipulations are based on two fundamental principles of the infant’s skull. First, the bone is thin and can fairly easily be removed, reshaped and re-inserted. Secondly, the osteogenic regenerative power of the dura at Read More…
The webbed neck occurs is a wide variety of medical conditions and has variable presentations. While most commonly associated with Turner’s, Noonan and Klippel-Feil syndromes where the webbed necks are severe, they also occur in lesser presentations that may have no specific syndrome associated with them. While non-syndromic neck webbing is less severe, it may Read More…
The use of custom skull implants has revolutionized the treatment of many aesthetic skull deformities. Being able to precisely locate the defect and design an implant from the patient’s 3D CT scan that can augment it provides an unparalleled accuracy in improving head shape contours. This is particularly effective in skull asymmetries or augmenting skull Read More…

Botox is the most popular form of injectable aesthetic therapt. It has an established history of success in managing problematic facial movements that cause undesirable facial expressions and ultimately skin wrinkles. It was formally FDA-approved well over a decade ago for the treatment of glabellar (between the eyebrow) wrinkles lines and has gone on Read More…
Background: Routine chin deficiencies are well managed by with an implant or a sliding genioplasty. The concept of a routine chin augmentation, in my experience, generally falls into a horizontal chin position movement of 10mms for less. Once the aesthetic need becomes greater than a centimeter there is undoubtably an overall lower jaw skeletal deficiency Read More…

While less Read More…
