Background: Osteomas are well known benign bony grows that commonly occur on various areas of the skull. They most commonly present on the skull between the bony temporal lines. Very rarely have I seen them outside the bony temporal lines on the sides of the head where the temporal muscle is located. When such hard Read More…
Background: The back of the head and concerns about its shape account for almost half of aesthetic skull reshaping patients in my experience. Concerns typical involve asymmetries from plagiocephaly, various types of occipital bone protrusions (knobs and buns) and flattening of part or all of the back of the head. The two techniques for back Read More…
Background: The sliding genioplasty is the autologous form of chin augmentation. Once the chin bone is cut and down fractured it can be moved to a new position both horizontally and vertically. The relevant question is what should that new chin bone position be. Ideally this should always be determined preoperatively by some form of Read More…

Decades ago it was breast augmentation and a tummy tuck which was often done on older women usually past the child bearing years. (aka Mommy makeover) The difference in BBL surgery from traditional Mommy Makeovers is that Read More…
Background: This is a great patient question in regards to aesthetic jaw augmentation. It is an insightful question that relates to whether standard chin and jaw angle implants can create a total jawline augmentation effect. Question: I have a question regarding the combination of standard chin and jaw angle implants. How do they connect? I´m Read More…
Background: The desire for waistline narrowing is universal for which conventional surgical approaches work most of the time. The most common waistline narrowing procedure is liposuction which reduces the subcutaneous fat layer between the skin and the muscle. Thinning this tissue layer combined with overlying skin retraction from the volume loss will work for most Read More…
Background: Many different body muscle groups can be successfully augmented with aesthetic implants. The most common, both by history and clinical use, are for the pectoral, buttock and calf muscles. From pectoral implants has sprung the need for other upper body implants to complement them for the arms and shoulders. (bicep, tricep, and deltoid muscles) Read More…
