Background: Chin implant augmentation is a common facial plastic surgery procedure that is not typically associated with wound healing problems. While the aesthetic outcome may be up for discussion in some cases, implants generally heal with a very low rate of infection or incisional wound healing problems. This is because the overlying soft tissue chin Read More…
Background: Some women seek a natural breast augmentation result. That look is open to various interpretations amongst women but most of the time means a breast mound that is less full on the the top than on the bottom.

Background: The shape of the skull is most easily seen in men. Due to short hair or a shaved head, the outline of the head from all angles can be discerned. A more masculine head shape is open to interpretation and has probably never been clearly defined. But it could probably be defined as one Read More…

The success of injectable fillers is dependent on having enough vermilion tissue so it can be adequately expanded. As a plastic surgeon once said a Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the male chest is done most successfully by pectoral implants. Fat injections rarely provides a pleasing aesthetic outcome because its effect is a softer and more ill-defined chest shape look. This undesired aesthetic effect combined with the capability of fat to grow with weight gain makes fat transfer a less than ideal Read More…
Background: Tapering the waistline for a more inward or shapely definition can be accomplished in many patients with conventional surgical techniques. Liposuction and tummy tucks work by provide a soft tissue deflation and inward pull that works for most patients. But for those patients that seek a more dramatic change or are unresponsive to conventional Read More…

Abnormal growth from congenital/developmental causes, traumatic injuries and elective jaw surgery can all adversely affect the shape of the jaw angles. By far in my experience elective osteotomies in orthognathic surgery cause the greatest array of Read More…
