Facial aging is associated with the development of soft tissue laxities and descent. This appears on the face in a variety of ways of which one is the most common and recognized as the development of jowls. As jowls develop the face changes shape often from a heart-shaped to a more square shape in women. Read More…
Background: In facial augmentation there are three methods to do so…injectable fillers, injectable fat and synthetic implants. Each has their own distinct advantages and disadvantages but none of these methods are perfect. With some surgeons advocate one over the other the reality is that they all have a valuable role to play and one often Read More…
The biggest change in the silicone gel of breast implants over the last twenty years has been the improvement in form stability. By increasing the complexity of the silicone cross-linking the gel within the implant becomes more highly cohesive and stiffer than earlier generation breast implants. This helps to maintain its shape better and have Read More…
Shoulder feminization surgery reduces the bideltoid width through shortening of the length of the clavicles. While this is a straightforward concept as the lone horizontal bone on the body is the clavicle, doing so in an aesthetic manner requires several key steps to ensure an effective result that proceeds to uncomplicated bone healing and minimal Read More…
One of the main motivations for men to undergo a custom jawline implant is to have stronger or more defined jaw angles. Such jaw angles, like that of the chin, is a three dimensional structure of which its width, vertical length and profile shape must be considered in the design. Many patients erroneously think that Read More…
Shoulder feminization surgery is done by surgical shortening of the clavicles. (clavicular reduction osteotomies) Since clavicles provide horizontal spacing between the sternum and the shoulder, it is easy to see how shortening their length provides reduction in bideltoid shoulder width measurements and appearance. Even though the clavicle is not a pure horizontal rod of bone, Read More…
A concave central midface that lacks projection creates a less than desirable appearance that can give the face a more aged appearance. Flatter midfaces are almost always associated with deeper nasolabial fold area or a premature development of them. Paranasal implants are a proven method to augment the natural concave bony areas around the pyriform Read More…

One of the most common areas of significant facial asymmetries involves the lower jaw. Being the only moveable bone on the face and developing from a paired Read More…

Eleven (11) different chin implant styles are available which can be divided into basic (6) and specialty (5) designs. The basic designs are the anatomic, extended anatomic, Conform extended anatomic, Terino extended anatomic, Flowers mandibular glove Read More…
Chin implants offer the simplest and most powerful method of facial reshaping per surgical time. Besides proper placement technique, the selection of the implant is the most important part of the alloplastic chin augmentation procedure. However, its long surgical history and the design evolution of the implant has led to many different shapes and sizes Read More…
