Background: The jawline and neck are connected by more than just anatomic proximity. The amount of projection of the chin and the length of the jawline affects the appearance of the neck profile. The shorter the chin projection the more obtuse the cervicomental neck angle becomes. Conversely the greater the chin projection the less obtuse/more Read More…
Background: The mid-body region for contouring can be done by a variety of surgical procedures. The most well known and commonly done are liposuction, fat transfer augmentations and buttock implants. This collection of now standard procedures can satisfy most patient’s needs for a smaller waistline, larger and more shapely buttocks and, in some cases, even Read More…
Chin augmentation can be done by a wide variety of methods from injectable fillers or fat, implants and repositioning the end of the chin bone. These augmentation options represent an increasingly level of invasiveness/scope of surgery in which patients can go up or down on these progressive treatment…although it is far more common to go Read More…
Background: Lip augmentation is one of the most commonly performed injectable aesthetic facial procedures. While very effective and instantaneous it does require repeated injections and costs to be maintained. Some patients will eventually develop the phenomenon of filler fatigue and either stop having the injections or search for a permanent surgical alternative. The two surgical Read More…
Background: The skull generally has a smooth convex shape of various arcs on its five surfaces. Abnormal and unaesthetic bony prominences do occur and are often associated along the lines of the sutures due to developmental bony overgrowth. The sutures are active sites of bone formation in the early years and the interplay between the Read More…

With such a large number of chin implant options one would think that just about every chin augmentation dimensional need can be met by an off-the-shelf implant. But the vast majority of the many Read More…
Cheek augmentation is most commonly performed today by injectable fillers. But when filler fatigue sets in cheek implants offer a permanent augmentation method. Cheek implants have been around for a long time and a variety of styes and sizes exist. Their use has historically been for females of which the same still exists today. But Read More…
Chin implants and a sliding genioplasty are two methods of chin augmentation that are often compared. While they can have similar effects when it comes to horizontal chin augmentation they have other different aesthetic effects. In certain other dimensional changes and in their effects on the neck is where they differ. The effect of a Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetry affects the face in seemingly variable and unpredictable ways. But in reality most facial asymmetries are relatively complete (affects the entire side of the face) if one looks closely enough and follows one of two patterns. (lower/inferior and upper/superior types) In other words they are more predictable than they may appear. In Read More…
Background: Facial implants are a common method used for permanent aesthetic augmentation. But the concept to grasp about their use is that is a reason that are available as off-the-shelf preformed implants….they are made for modest aesthetic concerns that can be improved by a single ‘spot’ augmentation. This is the role that standard cheek and Read More…
