There are many anatomic features that distinguish between the male and female gender which are evident done at the non-visible bony level. One of these bone differences can be seen in the shoulder at the clavicle bone. This horizontally long bone keeps the shoulder at a distance from the sternum and is one of the Read More…
One of the frequent questions I get asked is how many different procedures can be done in a single surgery. The origin of that question has different origins. For some patients it is a desire to do a ‘makeover’ of either their face or body which requires numerous procedures to do so. Another reason is Read More…
Background: The brachycephalic skull shape is primarily identified by its effects on the back of the head. A more complete flatness occurs in brachycephaly than in plagiocephaly with the classic very flat and wide back of the head. The increased width may be partially illusionary because of the lack of projection but there is usually Read More…

The fat that lies within the temporal muscle above the zygomatic arch and the fat compartments below the cheekbones can undergo volume loss due to a variety of medical conditions/drugs, aging, weight loss and surgery. Such effects are more Read More…
Mouth widening is a requested procedure when a patient feels it its disproportionately small/narrow to their face. The typical aesthetic measurement is where the mouth corners sit based on a vertical line dropped down from the pupil of the eye. When the mouth corner sits inside that line it is generally deemed that its width Read More…
Background: The shape of the skull has been described as most aesthetic if it follows the Golden Ratio. This is described as the length and shape of two arcs between the nasion and the inion subdivided by the bregma in profile. These two profile arcs, the bregma-inion (BI) and nasion-bregma (NB), ideally should be in Read More…
Background: Enlargement of the testicles involves the placement of an implant. Testicular enlargement is different than testicular replacement in that a testicle is in place and the space it occupies is requested to the enlarged. This can be done by one of two methods, side by side implant placement and wrapping the existing the testicle Read More…
