Background: Scaphocephaly is a general term that literally means a boat-shaped head. Dimensionally this means an elongated front to back head length that is invariably associated with a narrow head width as well.

Background: There are numerous body contouring surgeries that transfemales may find of benefit. The most common ones performed are liposuction, BBL and breast, buttock and hip implant surgeries which are primarily soft tissue enhancements. These are also structural body modifications (aka hard tissue procedures) that are gaining popularity which include shoulder reduction by clavicle bone Read More…
The definitive aesthetic jaw augmentation method is the custom jawline implant. Standard chin and jaw angles have their role in enhancing the shape of the lower face but they should be perceived as more corner enhancements of the jaw since they are not connected. Besides the ability to create/control the dimensions of the implant preoperatively Read More…
