Preservation of nasal airway breathing is an essential element of rhinoplasty surgery. One of the frequently used maneuvers in nose reshaping is dorsal hump reduction which is the most frequent causes of decreasing airflow due to internal nasal valve collapse. To prevent this adverse postoperative event the use of middle vault spreader grafts has been Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation using an implant is the most common form of facial augmentation. It has been around for over a half century and is generally thought of a straightforward procedure with a high success rate. And this is true when it is applied for modest chin deficiencies that are associated with no significant lower Read More…
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common radiologic diagnostic test that has proven invaluable for evaluating soft tissue abnormalities, often used in the head and neck area. Because it does not expose the patient to radiation it is also considered a very safe study to undergo. But despite avoiding radiation an MRI does pose some Read More…
Background: Midface augmentation is a general term that could affect any of the number of bony surfaces that make up the middle third of the face. The infraorbital rims and maxilla provide anterior augmentation surfaces for forward projection while the zygomatic body and arch provide lateral augmentation surfaces for adding midface width.

Background: Chin implants are a relatively straightforward procedure in terms of surgical placement. But that does not mean it always achieves a satisfactory aesthetic outcome. There are many variables in trying to achieve an aesthetic outcome in each patient that should be considered. This include the natural shape of the chin, whether it is a Read More…

Once fully recovered one has the option of either living with one testicle or replacing the lost one. It is impossible to know how many Read More…
Background: While chin implants are commonly performed and many plastic surgeons perform them that does not mean that all results are similar. While an implant provides an assured volume effect, it still requires being properly positioned on the bone. This takes into account not only symmetry but placement on the bone where its effect can Read More…
Background: Standard chin implants works well for the vast majority of modest to moderate chin augmentation needs. While the chin is a projecting facial structure that has a three dimensional shape, it is most commonly evaluated in only the side or profile view both before and after surgery. While the profile assessment is an important Read More…
The surgical method for waistline narrowing, behind that of traditional soft tissue removals, is that of rib removal surgery. There are different interpretations of what rib removal surgery is as there is no one definitive technique given the infrequent patient requests and the very few surgeons who actually have any knowledge or actual experience in Read More…
Background: Chin implants can be inserted from either an external or intraoral approach. There are advantages and disadvantages with either approach and both can be equally successful with good surgical technique. While the intraoral approach is scarless it is prone to somewhat higher risks of malposition (superiorly) and infection. The most common of the two Read More…
