Lower eyelid aging creates a number of well known aesthetic deformities.

To change the entire jawline from angle to angle in a smooth united fashion, custom jawline implants offer aesthetic results not previously obtainable.

Background: The size of the implant chosen is the single most important decision from a patient’s perspective. More time is spent on this aspect of the surgery than other factors such as implant type, pocket location, implant profile or even the surgeon performing the procedure.

Replacing a full-thickness scalp wound requires all layers of the scalp and must be done by either tissue expansion or rotation flaps of adjacent scalp or the microvascular transfer of distant tissue. Most partial thickness scalp defects are missing some Read More…
