Surgical reshaping of the face is an important part of the physical transformation of the transgender patient. For the male to female transgender patient it is largely a reductive approach for softening the structural aspects of the forehead, brow, nose and jawline. Conversely in the female to male transgender patient it is more of an Read More…
The sliding genioplasty is a well known chin reshaping procedure that is most commonly associated with a horizontal advancement augmentation. In so doing it is recognized that there will be a resultant ‘step off’ that did not previously exist. As the lower downfractured bone segment is brought forward underneath the fixed superior bone segment, a Read More…
Aging of the forehead affects multiple levels of tissue. Brows sag, horizontal wrinkle lines develop and vertical glabellar wrinkles lines/folds become more pronounced. Botox remains the mainstay of early prevention or treatment of these forehead changes. But unchecked or more advanced forehand aging is ultimately treated by a browlift operation. A browlift is the primary Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation is most commonly done by the placement of an implant on the end of the bone. Its primary objective is to provide a horizontal increase of the most anterior chin projection point, the pogonion, as best seen in a profile view.

These back rolls typically develop as more obliquely oriented sagging tissues excesses. The standard treatment for back ‘lipodystrophy’ Read More…

It is most commonly characterized by underdevelopment of the pectorals muscle with a higher and often smaller nipple-areolar complex.

Background: Rib removal has proven to be a successful waistline reshaping procedure in the properly selected patient. Good patients for the procedure are thinner patients that do not have a lot of subcutaneous body fat. Patients that have had prior liposuction and have expended all other surgical efforts for their waistline would also usually qualify. Read More…
Background: Pectoral implants in men are in some ways similar to breast implants in women. Their similarities are that both implant types are placed in the submuscular position and can be surgically inserted through an axillary incision. But this is where their similarities end and they become divergent. Pectoral implants are made of soft solid Read More…
Brow bone enhancement is often done as part of an overall forehead augmentation procedure/implant for both men and women. When only brow bone augmentation is requested, however, this is usually an exclusive male aesthetic procedure. Because of the need to limit the extent of any scalp incisions to the smallest extent, a premade custom brow Read More…
Background: Successful buttock augmentation can be done with either fat injections or implants. But in very thin patients fat injections are not a buttock augmentation option ad implants have to be used. In such thin patients the best location for buttock implants is in the intramuscular location. This provides the best camouflage of their outline Read More…
