Background: While the normal size range of the male testicle is known, there is no aesthetic relationship measurement between the size of the penis and that of the scrotum that hangs beneath it. Certainly the two create an overall aesthetic unit (penile-scrotal complex) but the exact proportionate relationship between the two has never been studied. Read More…
Background: The common nature of aesthetic chin augmentation, which often employs pure horizontal augmentation, makes it seem like a straightforward procedure. While this may be true in many chin augmentation patients, it speaks to what is the most overlooked/underdiagnosed aspect of chin augmentation …lack of vertical height. A vertically short lower chin can be hard Read More…
The male scrotum is an infrequently addressed aesthetic area in both the medical literature and in clinical practice. Men can be bothered by the shape of their scrotum for two primary reasons, scrotal laxity/sag and lack of adequate scrotal volume.

Reducing these two internal structures is what constitutes the Read More…

It serves as the determinant of the upper third of the face which is defined as between the eyebrows and the frontal hairline. The frontal hairline has any different patterns from a widow’s peak in the middle to varying degrees of Read More…
One of the most recognized aesthetic complications of facelift surgery is that of the pixie ear deformity. From the incisions placed in and around the ears for skin flap undermining and repositioning, the removal of redundant skin and its closure can place tension on the earlobes. Since the earlobe is the only part of the Read More…
Background: The pursuit of a well defined jawline always involve some form of augmentation. Whether this is along the corners of the jaw (chin and jaw angles) or along the entire jawline, building it out is the key to seeing an improved lower facial structural appearance. But where to place these augmentations dimensionally is the Read More…
Background: The labiomental fold or sulcus only becomes aesthetically relevant when it is seen as too deep. Or what may happen to it when a chin augmentation procedure is considered. How to manage an undesirably deep labiomental fold is most commonly treated by injectable fillers or fat…which works well in most cases in the unoperated Read More…
