Background: Augmentation of the bridge of the nose, known as dorsal augmentation, is a common need in certain types of rhinoplasty surgeries. Low nasal bridges occur for a variety of reasons but the most common is genetic…this is just the way the nose developed. This is seen particularly in certain ethnicities such as Asian and Read More…
Background: Waistline narrowing is most commonly done through standard body contouring methods such as liposuction and tummy tuck muscle plication techniques. But when those surgical maneuvers are unable to achieve the patient’s goals or they are not a candidate for them due to a lean body frame, then more advanced techniques such as rib removal Read More…
Background: The shape of the female forehead has some different features than that of a male. It has more of a vertical inclination and a rounder and more convex shape from side to side. There is usually no discernible brow bone break due to having smaller frontal sinuses. In contrast a male has slightly more Read More…
Background: The features that make a man’s face distinct are the three bony levels of the brow bones, cheeks and chin/jawline. These are the three lines of facial convexities whose degree varies amongst different individuals. While there are many variables that go into these three facial levels as t how they look and there are Read More…
Background: Craniofacial surgery is a collection of bone reshaping procedures of the skull and upper face that is typically used to treat various congenital deformities.

While various surgical approaches to the treatment of migraines have been done, none have historically been very successful. Recent migraine surgery has focused a specific subset of migraines patients Read More…
Background: Aesthetic evaluation of the lower third of the face is historically based on the concepts of the facial thirds. This is a frontal view concept evaluating the vertical relationship/ratios of the upper, middle and lower facial thirds. This linear measurement can detect a short lower third of the face which is aesthetically treated by Read More…
Background: Cheek augmentation is most commonly done in females. The traditional goal was to create an ‘apple cheek’ midface effect. This is defined as the part of the cheek that enlarges when smiling or laughing. This is anatomically over the main anterolateral projection of the cheekbone and has a rounded appearance. To no surprise this Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation in females is a common procedure that is often combined with other facial procedures (e.g., rhinoplasty) or done as a stand alone surgery. While it is a facial reshaping surgery that has been done for a long time and given that it is also performed frequently, it is assumed that it is Read More…
Background: The prominence of the brow bones is largely a reflection of the size of the underlying frontal sinus cavities. The frontal sinus is technically composed of four pairs of paranasal sinuses which are mucosal lined and drain into the nose through the frontonasal duct. While absent after birth and the first few years thereafter, Read More…
