Background: While many people think of the jaw when a facial structure is skeletally or structurally deficient, every other facial bone can also have visible hypoplasias as well. The orbital bones are no exception and their complex circumferential shape and the eyeball that lies within have unique clinical presentations of bony deficiencies. While many people Read More…
Background: When most people envision the type of patient who presents for aesthetic lower jaw augmentation, they would assume that the person has a noticeable short lower jaw…in essence a true jaw deficiency. While this is historically true and is still an accurate perception for some patients today, an increasing number of patients now present Read More…
Background: The concept of cheek implant augmentation has variable aesthetic meanings to different patients. Depending upon gender, ethnicity and one’s natural skeletal anatomy, cheek augmentation can not be a standard type of procedure where one general implant style fulfills all patient’s needs.

Background: Rhinoplasty patients present with a wide variety of nasal shapes to be changed. While the preoperative anatomy may be diverse, the end goals that most patients desire are much more uniform. What patients consider to be desired nose shapes have consistent features among them.

All have their merits and to those who use each one they are staunch Read More…
Background: A custom jawline implant is a powerful augmentation method. As it envelops the entire lower jaw from angle to angle its total external surface area coverage of the bone provides a true 3D change. While this augmentation effect can be impressive, its size also makes it the hardest facial implant to place. Through three Read More…
Background: Cleft lip and palate is a common and well known congenital deformity. It is typically perceived in its fullest presentation with a complete cleft through the lip, alveolus and palate. Even the nose is not usually perceived as part of the cleft, in the compete cleft the nose is also severely affected both internally Read More…
Background: Size dominates much of the preoperative discussion in breast implant surgery and what volume of implant may achieve it. But right behind size are concerns and desires for postoperative breast shape. The shape of the breast is defined by fullness of the upper and lower poles and the position of the nipple-areolar complex on Read More…
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…
