Facial implants of any type of dimensions will always cause some temporary swelling and bruising. Both types of performed jaw implants, chin and jaw angles, cause a predictable amount of facial swelling that will most certainly be viewed as significant by the patient. Typical facial swelling takes two days to reach its peak and the Read More…
Jawline enhancement or jawline augmentation is where various dimensions of the lower facial skeleton are built up. Unlike chin augmentation, jawline augmentation refers to both chin and jaw angle for a more overall effect. Such a jawline effect is typically thought of as being exclusively for men. And while that is true most of the Read More…
Background: Pregnancy affects most women adversely from an abdominal standpoint. The expansion and stretching of the abdominal skin is most severely seen in its central aspect around the umbilicus. The peri-umbilical region is well known to develop radiating stretch marks, loose skin and be a reservoir for refractory fat collections. For most women the amount Read More…
Calf augmentation can be done by two surgical methods. The most historic and reliable is the use of synthetic calf implants. A more recent but far more unpredictable technique is that of fat injections. Each calf augmentation method has its advantages and disadvantages but, like breast augmentation, fat injections are a good volume addition technique Read More…

Whether having only one testicle is a concern will Read More…
A strong and/or well defined jawline is a valuable aesthetic feature of the lower face in both men and women. While isolated and combined individual chin and jaw angle implants can be effective at achieving it, a one-piece wrap around jawline implant is the most effective way to achieve a completely smooth jawline augmentation.

Background: Rejuvenation of a long upper lip can only be reliably done by removing skin somewhere between the nose and the upper lip. The most common procedure to do so is known as the subnasal lip lift. It is more popular and commonly done than its cousin the upper lip advancement due to the less Read More…
Background: The well known tummy tuck or abdominoplasty procedure is most commonly used in women who have had abdominal shape changes due to pregnancy or some moderate weight loss. But since the era of bariatric surgery, large amounts of weight loss have created skin excesses who require modified forms of tummy tuck surgery. Since the Read More…
Breast implants create their effect by causing an instantaneous expansion of the overlying breast mound. This relatively simple and obvious concept causes a variety of postoperative effects on the shape of the breast that are often incompletely understood by patients…although understandably so. Some of their well known effects is that implants just make the breasts Read More…
