Background: Shoulder narrowing surgery by clavicle reduction osteotomies is an effective treatment for shoulder dysphoria but poses a unique recovery process. Unlike a clavicle fracture in which only one side is injured in shoulder narrowing surgery both sides are affected. This poses significant early after surgery arm restriction movements for the first few weeks after Read More…
Background: Pectoral implants are the definitive male chest augmentation method. While fat injections may have a role in some minor chest augmentations implants are required for major chest enhancements. For the vast majority of men the use of standard pectoral implant sizes are adequate. Even for the patient seeking a very robust augmentation the PowerFlex Read More…
One of the unmentioned sequelae of shoulder narrowing surgery is temporary numbness of the upper chest. Since shoulder narrowing is a bilateral procedure such numbness on both sides of the upper chest is common. Although it causes no functional issues and usually slowly resolves a few months after the surgery an anatomic explanation is helpful Read More…

Background: Shoulder dysphoria is a perception that the width of one’s shoulders is disproportionately wide compared to other body features and dimensions. It is particularly associated with the transfemale population where the width of the shoulders can be a particularly sensitive issue in how the body is seen. There are anthropometric measurements for shoulder width Read More…
Background: The head, and more specifically, the skull can be reduced like almost any other face or body part. The desire for skull reductions comes in different magnitudes of size. Some enlargements are small, such as osteomas, bumps and horns, and can usually be completely removed as the problem is relegated to the outer cortical Read More…
One of the most aesthetic augmentations in the face due to a natural genetic shape is the midface in Asians. Lack of forward development of the nasal base (pyriform aperture) is common in such patients, and while paranasal augmentation was once reserved for an adjunctive procedure in rhinoplasty, it is now often done as a Read More…
Liposuction under the chin (submental) and into the neck is a common enhancement procedure done below the jawline. While it can be a stand alone procedure it is most commonly performed as an ancillary procedure with other regional surgeries such as chin and jawline implants. While the main effect may come from the bone enhancement Read More…
