Background: The shape of the skull is typically perceived as a smooth curved on all sides. And this is relatively accurate with the exception of the front and back of the head. In men the inferior part of the forehead will have some degree of brow bone prominence on the lower due the developmental the Read More…
Surgical waistline reduction is most commonly performed by traditional liposuction and tummy tucks. Liposuction has a more profound effect on reducing flank fullness and bringing in the waistline than most tummy tuck in which a horizontal tissue excision is performed with a midline fascial plication. But both together produces the most effective waistline reshaping and Read More…
Background: Describing what a defined or more sculpted face looks like can defy an exact explanation. Numerous angles, ratios and numbers have been described to do so and they all have their merit. But the one concept that is often overlooked is that of the facial corners or prominences. These include the brow bones, nose, Read More…
Augmentation of the central midface involves augmenting along the pyriform aperture bone that surrounds the nasal cavity. These include the options of premaxillary, paranasal or combined premaxillary-paranasal augmentations. Numerous materials and grafts have been used for these nasal base augmentations, all of which can be successful with good surgical technique and material/graft handling. One effective Read More…
Background: Many types of skull reduction procedures are what I call ‘spot’ reductions. This means that specific raised areas of the skull can be selectively reduced by a bone burring technique. These include such areas as occipital knobs, forehead horns and sagittal crests to name some of the most common spot skull reduction areas. They Read More…
The custom jawline implant for many men provides the definitive lower third of the face enhancement. While in the leaner male patient with good cheeks the jaw augmentation alone may be sufficient for creating more defined facial features. But in the fuller or rounder faced patient this alone may not be enough. The round face Read More…
One of the best midface augmentation methods is that of the custom infraornital-malar (IOM) implant. While lesser known that injectable fillers and fat or standard tear trough implants, this unique implant style provides simultaneous treatment of undereye hollows and infraorbital deficiencies as well as providing cheek augmentations as well. It provides a horizontal line of Read More…
Background: Aesthetic surgery of the ear is commonly called otoplasty. This term is really a generic term that doesn’t really indicate what type of ear reshaping procedure is being done. Because the most common aesthetic ear reshaping surgery is historically for protruding ears, otoplasty is most commonly associated with ear pinning or a setback otoplasty Read More…
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…
