The buccal fat pad is most recognized for its role in facial reshaping surgery. Through an intraoral buccal lipectomy extraction, the main body of the buccal fat pad is removed causing a reduction in external cheek fullness. Such aesthetic procedures always produce impressive lobular fat specimens with volumes between 3 to 6ccs. But this unique Read More…
Vertical forehead reduction is a soft tissue forehead reshaping procedure that shortens the distance between the frontal hairline and the eyebrows. It does so through a combination of forehead skin removal and hair-bearing scalp advancement. It also needs to do so without causing substantial brow elevation (unless that is desired) as well as prevention of Read More…
A custom jawline implant is the most effective lower facial augmentative reshaping procedure. By changing the shape and size of the entire inferolateral border of the jawline from angle to angle the transition between the face and the neck becomes more visible and defined. But unlike more limited standard chin and jaw angles implants whose Read More…

While it is commonly perceived that the chin bone is cut and moved to a new desired location, the chin bone no longer has its completely natural shape. The most obvious change in Read More…
Browlifting is often part of periorbital rejuvenation, whether it is done combined with blepharoplasties or, less frequently, in isolation. The most common type of browlift used today is the endoscopic technique primarily because of the limited incisions used. It’s effectiveness is based on two basic principles, adequate brow tissue release and a method for fixation Read More…
While standard cheek implants can address most aesthetic cheek deficiencies, certain cheek augmentation needs require a custom implant approach. When the amount of augmentation size, surface area coverage or unusual anatomy/asymmetries exist, a 3D CT scan is needed to customize the implant designs to fulfill the patient’s aesthetic needs. While custom implants can provide a Read More…
