Background: Chin implants come in a wide variety of styles and sizes. They have the greatest number of standard options available amongst all facial implants. This is because they have been clinically used for decades, longer than any other facial implant, and they are the most commonly performed facial implant augmentation. But despite these options, Read More…
Background: Reduction of the width of the lower face refers to jaw angle reduction. The ramus of the mandible (aka the jaw angles) creates the widest part of the lower face due to the outward flare of the jaw as it moves from the chin in front backward. Reduction of this part of the jaw Read More…
Background: One of the considerations in breast augmentation surgery is the choice of the incision. While it is important to remember that the incision is just a method of access to the making of the desired breast pocket, and what is done on the inside remains the same regardless of the incision used, it is Read More…

Such an effect is always achieved as one would expect from placing a permanent implant into the breast mound. But some women also desire that they have a breast lifting effect which is not nearly as predictable or should Read More…
Background: The shape of the jawline consists of various anatomic zones that has numerous dimensions. While the most common aesthetic concerns are a chin that does not have enough horizontal projection or jaw angles that are not wide enough, there are many other types of aesthetic deformities of the jawline. One such undesired jawline shape Read More…
Background: The upper third of the face has well known gender differences. The shape of the male forehead is distinctly different than that of a female. It is usually wider and vertically longer than in women, there is a slight backward slope to it as it ascends into the hairline and there is the presence Read More…
Background: The jawline for men and women is the key feature of the lower face. While once all focus was on the chin, this perspective is short-sighted today. While many patients will still benefit by chin augmentation alone, a growing number of patients want/need a total jawline approach to achieve their aesthetic facial goals. Total Read More…
