When it comes to implants for aesthetic body contouring, there are significant differences between breast implants and every other type of body implant in numerous ways. Breast and all other body implants are frequently confused in their physical properties and characteristics because they are made of a similar basic silicone material. From an implant composition Read More…
Background: Sagging of the breasts is both a normal and expected result of aging and the natural side position of the breasts on the torso. The amount of breast sagging that occurs is influenced by numerous factors including the natural size and shape of the breasts, pregnancies, weight loss, amount of breast tissue involution and Read More…
Correction of the protruding ear, known as setback otoplasty, has been around for well over one hundred years and numerous techniques have been described to treat it. Because so many methods have been described for the procedure this speaks to the observation that there is no one perfect way to do it. What separates these Read More…
Background: The most significant forehead feature in men are the brow bones. While the brow bone shape seems fairly simplistic it actually has a complex topography that is created by the development of the frontal sinuses medially and the frontal skull bone laterally. The perception of the size of the brow bones is determined by Read More…
The interest in the hip augmentation has skyrocketed as the number of adjacent buttock procedures have risen over the past decade. While some buttock procedures can create some degree of a hip augmentation effect (fat injections, subfascial implants), most of the time the resultant hip widening is seen as either short-lived (fat injections) or incomplete/inadequate.

Once type of well known congenital ear deformity is that known as lidding. When it appears in newborns it usually represents when the continuation Read More…
Background: Male brow bone reduction almost always requires a bone flap technique for maximal effectiveness. However, it is not the technique of brow bone reduction that is the major consideration in the surgery for men. Rather it is the location of the incision that I find to be the most important consideration which not only Read More…
Jaw angle implants, whether they be standard or part of a custom jawline implant design, require an intraoral incision for placement. This incision is way back in the mouth opposite the second or third molars either in the vestibule or slightly up on the cheek mucosa. Lying directly under the incision at some depth from Read More…
Reduction of various skull areas can be done throughout the entire external cranial surface. Almost always these are on naturally flatter or curved areas that are seen as too convex or prominent. This can be due to overgrowth in one specific area (e.g., sagittal crest or occipital knob) or of an entire cranial surface. (e.g., Read More…
Custom skull implants are the most effective method for aesthetic skull augmentations of all types. Their large surface areas of coverage provide for augmentation effects that blend in well with the surrounding bone for more natural head shape effects. But what also makes custom solid silicone skull implants so appealing is that they can be Read More…
