Background: The frontal bone which makes up the forehead develops from bony outgrowths of the frontal eminence region. As a result it occurs in some people that the frontal eminences may remain somewhat prominent when the forehead is fully developed. Because there is a frontal eminence on each side of the forehead any residual prominence Read More…
Background: The shape of the cheek is primarily controlled by the projection of the zygomatic body and the convexity of the zygomatic arch behind it. Given the length and potential variability of these combined zygomatic bone shapes, there is ample opportunity for one cheek to be different from the other. The degree of convexity or Read More…
Background: While pectoral implants may be for male chest enhancement they are not the equivalent of breast implants for women. Besides the solid composition of pectoral implants, they are also different than breast implants because they are intended to create a pure muscular augmentation effect. This means that the lateral border of the muscle should Read More…

Background: The historic approach to aesthetic skull augmentations was with the use of bone cements. While still available today they have largely been replaced by custom skull implants in my practice due to their preoperative designs, superior augmentation effects and the ability to have them placed through small scalp incisions. The only exception to the Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the forehead can be done like any other facial bone. (technically the forehead is actually part of the skull) What is unique about forehead augmentation, particularly in the male patient, is the consideration of the brow bones which have a different shape and thickness. This consideration is also relevant for women but Read More…
Background: Like most facial structures the eyes must develop symmetrically both for functional and aesthetic reasons. Given the complexity of the anatomy that makes up the structures surrounding the eyeball, it is a marvel of embryology and developmental growth that the eye area develops as symmetric as it does most of the time. Between the Read More…
Background: The back of the head is composed of the occipital bone inferiorly and the parietal bone superiorly. While the back of the head is commonly referred to as the occiput, this anatomically only refers to the lower half of the back of he head.
