Background: Lower facial asymmetry is most commonly associated with the shape of the jawline. While patients often present with chin asymmetry, closer inspection often reveals that it extends back along the jawline as well. With the chin asymmetry the jawline on the longer chin side is lower and conversely it is higher on the shorter Read More…
Background: The outcome of breast augmentation is affected by many variables that go far beyond the implant itself. The shape and position of the breast mound and its nipples profoundly impact how they will look when the implants are placed behind them. Too often patients believe that the enlarging their breasts will correct many of Read More…
Background: The buffalo hump deformity is a well known collection of fat in the back of the neck. It is a seemingly unusual place to develop a fatty collection given that it is a body area that is associated with becoming ‘fat’.

Liposuction of the lower extremities is the second most common Read More…
Background: One of the most recognized anti-aging facial procedures is that of the facelift. While commonly recognized it is not commonly understood by the public. Many misconceptions exist about this operation from how it is performed, its immediate and long-term facial effects and to who may even be a good candidate for it. The facelift Read More…
Background: Routine chin deficiencies are well managed by with an implant or a sliding genioplasty. The concept of a routine chin augmentation, in my experience, generally falls into a horizontal chin position movement of 10mms for less. Once the aesthetic need becomes greater than a centimeter there is undoubtably an overall lower jaw skeletal deficiency Read More…
Background: The shape of the ear is complex and its affected by how its cartilage structure becomes formed during its embryologic development. With its array of folds and concavities the ear assumes a unique shape for each person. In addition to its shape, its size and orientation to the side of the head affects how Read More…

Once the intracranial work is complete the bone flap is put back into place. But because the bone edges Read More…
