Background: In the short chin, when significant vertical lengthening is the primary deficiency, the bony genioplasty remains the workhorse for this type of lower facial augmentation. Significant vertical chin lengthening is defined in my experience by greater than 7 mm in most patients. This is based on the restrictions of the overlying soft tissue chin Read More…
Background: Penoscrotal webbing (PSW), also called a webbed penis, is when there is excessive skin between the penis and the scrotum. As a result a skin web appears when the penis is lifted up to 90 degrees or higher. Due to its appearance it could be called the turkey neck of the penis. Careful assessment Read More…
Background: In the patient with a wide or overly convex head shape the question is always is this a function of the bone or muscle. To accurately answer this question one has to look at the anatomy of the temporal bone and muscle which makes up the side of the head. The temporal bone is Read More…
Ultrasoft solid temporal implants are a permanent method of temporal augmentation. Placed on top of the muscle but under the deep temporal fascia the implant essentially augments the thickness of the muscle. To create different temporal augmentation effects a variety of temporal implant styles (standard vs extended) and thicknesses (4 and 6mm) exist. But even Read More…
Background: One every common aesthetic facial concern is underrate hollowing. This is a general term and differs based on a congenital or aging created deficiency. A congenital under eye problem is a bony deficiency (lack of forward growth projection) while an age-related under eye problem is usually soft tissue related (fat atrophy). In the severest Read More…
For almost a quarter century silicone breast implant sizes in the U.S. had a maximum size volume of 800ccs. This served the vast majority of patients well as only a very small percentage of aesthetic breast augmentation patients ever desire a size north of 800cs. Historically any patient needing a larger size had to resort Read More…
The custom jawline implant has a profound influence on changing the shape of the lower third of the face. By wrapping around the inferolateral bony border of the mandible a unified skeletal expansion effect is obtained that not even jaw osteotomies can not replicate in its 3D effect. Improved jaw shape and definition is obtained Read More…
Background: The flatter midface has a long history of being treated by the LeFort I advancement bony procedure. While effective for improving projection of the upper lip, teeth and nasal base as well as improving the dental interdigitation it leaves behind the the midface structures that lie above the bone cut.This means the infraorbital rim Read More…
Background: Optimal augmentation around the orbit and cheeks is ideally done with a custom implant design. Some aesthetic cheek augmentations need a significant orbital component, most commonly along the infraorbital rim but may also include the lateral orbital rim as well. Often the desire for such an implant design is learned from the use of Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetries are not uncommon and can affect any of the facial thirds.Such asymmetries can be more complete affecting multiple facial thirds or they can only involve one of them. The upper facial third or forehead is not spared from such congenital asymmetries although in my experience it is probably less commonly affected than Read More…
