Background: Rib removal surgery has been done so infrequently that it is a highly misunderstood cosmetic body contouring procedure. While it sounds extreme, and it is certainly for the most motivated, it is neither a dangerous or a radical operation. It is a procedure that is based on an understanding of the lower shape of Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation is one of the original facial reshaping surgeries and has been performed for decades. Whether done through the mouth or done from an incision below the chin, the fundamental concept is that an implant is placed over the central aspect of the lower chin bone. (pogonion) While the basic technique for chin Read More…
Background: Perhaps to the surprise of many, men make up a significant percent of aesthetic skull reshaping patients. This is due to the show of the skull shape that occurs with shaved heads, closely cropped hairstyles and thinning hair cover. Men become exquisitely aware of any prominent bony areas or indentations or deficiencies. One of Read More…
Temporal headaches are one of the four known regional migraine areas.

Volume loss is a well recognized aspect of facial aging. This has led to a now popular and widespread use of facial volume augmentation techniques. Synthetic injectable fillers and fat are most commonly used since most of volume loss occurs in soft tissue compartments and these materials are easily placed by injection. The re-establishment of Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation is one of the most popular lower facial reshaping procedures and has been so for many decades.

Background: Lost of a testicle in a male can occur for a variety of reasons. Congenital absence, an undescended testicle, infection, traumatic injury, varicoeles and other pathologies can all cause an absent scrotal sac on one side. While a man can fully function in all capacities with one testicle, there is psychological benefit for some Read More…
Custom skull implants have become a successful method for correcting many types of skull deformities where augmentation is needed. Interestingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, many aesthetic skull deformities are most apparent in men due to a ‘lack’ of hair. Whether the exposure of the skull is due to a shaved head, a short hair Read More…
