Volume-assured augmentation of the upper midface is currently able to be done by two basic type of implants, cheeks and infraorbital styles. They both have a role to play which becomes more challenged when the midface augmentation is a three-quarter one…this means achieving a combined infraorbital and cheek augmentation effect.

The back of the head is typically called the occiput or occipital bone. But anatomically this is inaccurate as only the lower central part of the back of the head is the occipital bone. Much of the back of the head is the parietal bone which lies above the inverted v-shaped lambdoid sutures. Appreciating the Read More…
Prominent ‘veins’ or ‘worms’ that cross from the temples into the forehead are neither….they are arteries… specifically the anterior branch of the superficial temporal artery.

But when breast ptosis exists implants alone will usually make their appearance worse even though they are Read More…
There are multiple methods of jawline augmentation. Injectable fillers can be a good but temporary method which has its limitations long term due to economic reasons. But it can be a good initial test for some patients. The injection of fat, however, is frequently far less successful both due to its unpredictable survival but also Read More…
Background: The placement of breast implants can have several long term reasons for their removal and/or replacement. Implant failure due to disruption of the intact shell is the most common reason for replacement and will undoubtably happen to most women…eventually. Changes of the breast tissue on top of the augmented mound is another reason if Read More…
One of the most common discussed effects associated with chin implants is bone resorption. This has been talked about for decades and patients and doctors talk about it like it is a progressive ongoing phenomenon that has pathologic and negative clinical effects. I have stated for a long time that this is an erroneous concept, Read More…
Buccal lipectomies, a facial reshaping procedure once denounced as deleterious, has gained popularity in more recent times. In an effort to thin out or sculpt full cheeks, removal of the discrete buccal fat creates the most significant amount of facial fat reduction. The cheek subcutaneous tissues are not particularly favorable for liposuction due to its Read More…
