Background: BBL surgery is well known around the world and is a purely autologous approach to changing the size of the buttocks. It is a fat redistribution approach and these effects are synergestic…a smaller waistline make the buttocks look bigger and vice versa. Such BBL surgery is dependent on how much fat one has to Read More…
Background: A common method of aesthetic jaw augmentation in my practice, although not well known at all to many, is combining an osteotomy with implants. In this specific method a bony genioplasty is done for the anterior third of the jaw and custom implants are used for the remaining two-thirds of the jaw behind it. Read More…
Background: A midface deficiency affects the middle third of the face from the infraorbital rims down to the maxillary alveolus. In its classic presentation the patient has a class III malocclusion or underbite but that may not be evident if prior orthodontic correction and orthognathic surgery has been done. Despite a corrected occlusion the midface Read More…
Background: The shape of the head is controlled largely by the thickness and contours of the skull bones. While the skull is often perceived as being a uniform set of bones encasing the brain, it varies considerably across its five surfaces. (forehead, top of head, back of head and paired temporal regions) The back of Read More…

Having done many such procedures at this point I have had the epiphany that the term ‘shoulder narrowing’ does not accurately describe what occurs. Because the clavicle is a lazy s-shaped bone with a horizontal orientation, a removal Read More…
One of the most common male masculinization composite procedures is custom jawline and infraorbital-malar (IOM) implants. By creating a more visible/defined cheeks and jaw structure the face takes on a stronger and more defined appearance.Think of this as a ‘five corner’ approach to facial reshaping. (cheeks, jaw angles and chin) In some cases those augmentations Read More…
Custom skull implant designs are the most effective approach to just about any aesthetic head augmentation problem. By using a preformed implant with a design based on the patient’s 3D skull CT scan the desired head shape change is more likely to be achieved than using older bone cement techniques where intraoperative hand shaping of Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation is one of the most common aesthetic facial reshaping surgeries. The chin implant is used for many of these chin augmentation surgeries and is a powerful and effective treatment for most horizontal chin projection deficiencies. It is often called the most powerful facial reshaping procedure that can be performed in the shortest Read More…
One aesthetic condition at the penile-scrotal junction that can occur is webbing. Normally there is a sharp near 90 degree angle between the shaft of the penis and the frontal surface of the scrotum. But when excessive skin develops a turkey neck or web appears between these two structures, hence the term penoscrotal webbing. There Read More…
