Osteomas are well known benign bony growths that are most commonly seen in the forehead. (at least by plastic surgeons) These forehead osteomas are peripheral in origin and arise from the periostea lining of the bone. They are said to result from trauma although many forehead osteomas that I have seen have no such history. Read More…
Background: The presentation and excision of cysts are a mundane procedural request by patients to their plastic surgeon. They often are not the primary procedure the patient is undergoing and usually a ‘hey doc’ request as an addition. Such lumps and bumps are usually garden variety dermoid cysts and lipomatous masses that can develop anywhere Read More…
Some Asian faces are well known to have a mid facial concavity or lack of forward facial projection. As a result augmentative rhinoplasty is one of the most common facial procedures performed in this ethnic group to increase the height and length of the nose. As part of the underlying facial deficiency and a procedure Read More…
Background: Rib removal surgery reaches the deeper anatomic layer for waistline narrowing. It may be done as the last treatment possible for patients that have had more standard procedures such as liposuction, BBL surgery or tummy tucks and remain unsatisfied with their waistline shape. It may also be the only good option for patients that Read More…
Background: Custom skull implants have revolutionized any form of aesthetic head augmentation. Having a preformed design with an assured smooth shape creates head shape changes that were heretofore impossible without major scalp incisions and the use of synthetic bone cements in large quantities. In an indirect way it is a lot like breast implants (although Read More…
Background: Total or complete lower jaw augmentation of any significance can really only be done by a custom wrap around jawline implant. By creating an augmentation line along the entire inferolateral bony border from one angle to the other a true 3D jaw augmentation is obtained. To compare what this type of implant can do Read More…
Rib removal in my practice is a common body contouring procedure to improve the shape of the waistline. It is the final possible procedure for those patients who have been through prior surgical efforts (BBL,liposuction, tummy tucks) or for those who are so lean that these standard surgical procedures are not of much value. Reducing Read More…
Background: The shape of anyone’s nose is a result of the size, shape and thicknesses of its cartilage, bone and skin components. These five pieces of cartilage and two pieces of bone are able to be modified to varying degrees if one wants to change the shape of their nose. How well or poorly these Read More…
Background: Custom jawline implants can be made of a variety of materials each with their own advantages and disadvantages. One of these materials is porous polyethylene or Medpor. It offers a firm soft tissue adhesion to its surface to which that advantage over other materials which do not develop this strong adhesion is not clinically Read More…
One of the most common aesthetic questions potential patients ask about shoulder narrowing surgery by clavicle resection is whether rolling in of the shoulders occurs. The question actually is not whether it occurs by how significant will it be. To properly answer that question requires an understanding of clavicular bone anatomy. While the clavicle is Read More…
