Commonly called plagiocephaly it causes a flatness on one side of the back of the head that is frequently associated with an overall craniofacial scoliosis.

Background: A custom jawline implant made from a 3D CT scan is becoming recognized as the most definitive method to modify the shape of the lower jaw.

Background: It is well known in breast implant surgery that the final shape of the breasts afterwards is highly influenced by what they looked like before.

Aging around the eyes occurs just like that of the rest of the face through loss of volume and thinning of the skin with wrinkle formation. While a variety of well known surgical techniques are available to rejuvenate the eye area (blepharoplasty and browlifts), the use of eye fat injections is still regarded as precarious Read More…
