Background: Large amounts of weight loss are very good for one’s health and are to be commended whether they are achieved by self-induced weight loss or bariatric surgery. But one of the common sequelae of such weight loss is loose skin which appears as low hanging rolls around the torso. The most common torso roll Read More…
Background: There are a wide variety of head shape concerns that exist from the top, back, front and sides of the head. Such concerns may be that certain skull areas are too big, too small, asymmetric or just oddly shaped. While almost all aesthetic skull shape concerns are improvable, some are more improvable than others. Read More…
Background: The lateral vermilion-cutaneous borders of the lips provide a boundary line for the outer aspects of the mouth. The converged lip corners define both the width of the mouth as well as have an impact on facial expression. While dynamic facial movement will always create a smile, a static facial expression can either have Read More…
Background: The value of jaw angle implants has come into more common use as more complete jawline augmentation effects are sought today from both men and women. Unlike the more well known chin implant, jaw angle implants pose different challenges in both implant style and size selection as well as surgical placement. One could argue Read More…

(STA) This most commonly affects the anterior branch of the STA where it takes off from its Y-split from the posterior branch of the STA. However in men with very close cropped hair or who Read More…
Background: Testicular implants have been around for decades and have had their primary use as replacements for a lost testicle.Whether due to failure to descend or removal due to trauma, infection or a malignancy, the absence of a testicle produces scrotal asymmetry which can negatively affect some men. The placement of a testicular implant offers Read More…
Background: The back of the head is exposed to numerous deforming forces both in utero as well as after birth. Given that laying on the back of the head is necessary to some degree in many non-vertical positions, the early influences of positioning in utero and early in the first year of life on soft Read More…
Background: The shape and protrusion of the brow bones has aesthetic implications for both men and women. While men can have some brow bone protrusion as a masculine facial feature, women should have a smooth and non-prominent brow bone shape that lacks any visible brow bone break up into the forehead. Brow bone reduction is Read More…
Background: Custom skull implants provide a new method for changing the shape of the head through their ability to add volume in a controlled preoperatively designed fashion. By definition this makes the scalp tighter. That is certainly true initially although some scalp relaxation undoubtably occurs later. This is well known to me as some skull Read More…
