Background: The ear is comprised of many individual shapes created by the shape of the underlying cartilage. It is unclear as to the functional significance of many of these cartilage prominences. But the most anterior one, the tragus, has a clear functional role in the deflection of sound waves back into the external auditory canal. Read More…
Poland syndrome is a well known chest wall deformity that always has some degree of underdevelopment of the pectoralis muscle. With the muscle deformity displacement of the nipple superiorly usually occurs as well potential underlying ribcage abnormalities. Many variations in the expression of Poland syndrome occur with other potential deformities of the shoulder, arm and Read More…
The original temporal implant, now known as style 1, was designed to treat the temporal hollowing that is located to the side of the eye. This ‘orbital’ temporal area is always the deepest part of any temporal concavity and is the most common location for aesthetic temporal hollowing. In looking at the shape of the Read More…
Background: The traditional approach to total jawline augmentation has been the use of standard chin and jaw angle implants. While this ‘three-point’ approach can be effective in the properly selected patient, it is fraught with potential aesthetic sequelae such as implant asymmetries and an inability to achieve the desired jawline shape outcome. This is somewhat Read More…
The permanent treatment for temporal hollowing is a solid soft muscle implant that lies under the temporalis fascia. Such temporal implants currently exist in two styles based on the zone of temporal augmentation needed. The orbital temporal implant (style 1) fills in the typical location of temporal hollowing done at the level lateral to that Read More…

It is far more common in my experience to see men that have been missing a testicle for years or decades as opposed to just a few months from its removal. The absence of Read More…
Buttock implants have been used in aesthetic surgery for over forty years. But unlike breast implants, where extensive clinical data has been gathered and analyzed, the same can not be said for buttock implants. One of the most important issues for any implant in the body is pocket location. For buttock implants the two pocket Read More…
Liposuction of the abdomen is the most common body contouring procedure done today. It has remained so since the introduction of liposuction techniques almost forty years ago. The primary objective of abdominal liposuction has been volume reduction, make the abdominal and flank areas smaller with a less thick fat layer. While the term ‘liposculpture’ is Read More…
A custom jawline implant design is based on an artistic and experienced assessment of the patient’s goals and what implant dimensions are felt that may accomplish them. It is not an exact science and can not calculate in how the overlying soft tissues will respond. This is relevant both aesthetically as well as potentially impacting Read More…
Undereye hollows can be treated by a variety of techniques from injectable to implant materials. By far the injectable approach is the most common where temporary injectable fillers are frequently used. While these injectable approaches are rarely perfect that usually offer natural reversibility based on the composition of the material. This is why injectable fillers Read More…
