Background: The back of the head appears to be a non-descript skull area that usually garners little attention. And this is true as long as it has a relatively smooth slightly curved surface contour. But when protrusions occur its obscure appearance can become an aesthetic distraction. Such is the case in the classic occipital knob Read More…
Background: The facelift is a well known workhorse of facial rejuvenation in the lower third of the face. While a wide variety of surgical techniques have been described for it and the magnitude of the procedure is based on patient age and degree of soft tissue sagging, it still comes down to a soft tissue Read More…
Background: Orofacial clefts, such as the most common cleft lip and palate deformity, are more than just a cleft. The dysjunction of the lip and alveolus causes significant nasal deformities as well. When the support of the tripod structure of the nose is disrupted beneath it, a wide variety of nasal bone and cartilage derangements Read More…
Background: Aging of the eyelids is always associated with varying amounts of skin excess, fat protrusion and skin wrinkling. The lower eyelid takes these issues to further ‘extremes’ creating additional aesthetic issues such as tear troughs, nasojugal grooves and a non-smooth surface contour in contrast to the underlying cheeks. These issues along with manipulating a Read More…
Background: A custom jawline implant is the single most powerful procedure I have seen in facial reshaping surgery for many patients. Expanding the inferolateral bony contours of the lower jaw around its entire surface predictably creates a change in the shape of one’s face that creates a visible difference in the face-neck transition. Custom jawline Read More…
Background: The breasts of a women are far from a static anatomic structure. Over a woman’s lifetime her breasts are exposed to a variety of deforming forces including tissue stretch from pregnancies, weight loss as well as gravity. How much damage the breasts will sustain depends on their initial size as well as the extent Read More…
Background: The back of the head is prone to multiple types of aesthetic concerns. Bony issues could include an isolated occipital knob, prominent nuchal ridges or areas of generalized flatness. Soft tissue issues are more limited and largely consist of soft tissues excesses known as horizontal scalp rolls. While often occurring as isolated issues, it Read More…
Background: The skull has a complex shape and can have potentially a wide range of shape deformities. One of the most common is that of plagiocephaly….or a twisted skull. This is most manifest in the back of the head with one side flatter than the other. This may or may not be associated with bulging Read More…
Background: Facial aging is associated with a wide range of undesired effects at all facial levels. Besides the eye area the most common area of facial aging concerns to most patients is the neck and the jawline. As the facial tissues fall and start to ‘slide off of the face’ they drape over the jawline. Read More…
Background: Every bone on the face is capable of being underdeveloped and presents different aesthetic issues based on the area affected. The eye area is no different. One of the common periorbital skeletal deficiencies is that of the lower eyelid bone or infraorbital rim. Infraorbital rim recession may occur in isolation ut more commonly extends Read More…
