While cheek implants have been around for over fifty years little attention has been paid to their gender differences. Men and women do not want the same type of cheek augmentation effect/look in my experience in many patients. While the facial differences between men and women have been acknowledged for centuries cheek implants exist as Read More…
Background: Shoulder reshaping is a relatively new area of aesthetic surgery in which the shoulders can become smaller or wider. By changing the length of the clavicle bone the outer shape of the shoulders can be changed. Started initially with shoulder narrowing surgery, which is most commonly done in transgender male to female patients, it Read More…
Background: Forehead asymmetry can either consist of an excess or a deficiency on one side. While most commonly seen in congenital plagiocephaly a twist of the forehead for whatever reason during development makes one side different from the other. Forehead asymmetries often affect the entire side of the forehead most prominently along the bony temporal Read More…
Shoulder reduction or narrowing surgery works by shortening the length of the clavicle bone holding it out. While the clavicle may appear relatively straight in front view pictures and x-rays, it is far from being so.

The one exception is when a vertical chin deficiency exists which is the most underdiagnosed dimensional chin deficiency. While Read More…
Background: One very specific method of abdominal sculpting is the creation of a ‘six pack’ look. While everyone would agree that the best method to achieve that abdominal look is through exercise and diet, not every patient can actually achieve that result no matter how much effort they put into it. This is not to Read More…
Background: The shape of the forehead is significantly influenced by the thickness and contours of its underlying bone. Changing the shape of the forehead bone is done for a variety of topographic reasons, one of which is asymmetry. Increased fullness on one side of the forehead is not rare and when present almost always involves Read More…
Background: One of the more commonly requested skull reshaping procedures is that of temporal reduction. To reduce the overly wide or convex side of the head shape, the posterior portion of the temporal muscle is removed through a postauricular incision. Not only is the procedure effective but it is also scarless. While there are many Read More…
Augmentation of a deficient central midface can be done by a variety of methods including anterior maxillary movements, autologous vs allogeneic bone and cartilage grafts as well as implants. Most adult patients are not going to opt for major LeFort procedures and, as a result, augmenting the premaxillary-nasal base region remains the primary method for Read More…
