Background: Upper and lower jaw osteotomies, once known as orthognathic surgery, has undergone an evolution for what was its original purpose. Designed to correct dentofacial deformities for malocclusions, and while still used for that purpose today, its uses currently have expanded to the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and as a method to increase mid- Read More…
Background: Chin ptosis is a common iatrogenic problem caused by removal of structural support underlying the soft tissue chin pad. As a solitary projecting point of the lower face if the bone support is reduced the amount overlying tissues does not change in size. Contrary to popular surgical belief it does to shrink down int Read More…
Background: Having done hundreds of shoulder narrowing (clavicle reduction osteotomies) surgeries, many for transgender and a few for cis-females, there are certain anatomic observations I have made. The first is that most people’s shoulders are not not symmetric. One side is often longer and, as a result, higher than the other side. This is not Read More…

Flatness of the back of the head is the sine qua non of plagiocephaly for most patients which is where it is usually seen most significantly.Often called occipital flattening Read More…
Background: The definitive method for complete jaw or lower facial augmentation is the custom jawline implant. Not surprisingly the vast majority of patients who seek this surgery are men and their goals are fairly consistent… a stronger and more defined jawline. While there are different flavors of what that means for each individual patient there Read More…
Background: The most under diagnosed aesthetic chin deformity is in the vertical dimension. This particularly true when it is a vertical deficiency. It is easy to miss unless one is aware of the indicators. An overbite, an excessively deep labiomental fold, a bunched up soft tissue chin pad and a shortened lower third of the Read More…
Background: Breast augmentation remains the most commonly performed aesthetic implant surgery in the world by implant numbers. This is true not only because of its long standing history and familiarity but also due to the need for bilateral implants. The implant types has always been two, either a silicone gel or saline fluid fill. Each Read More…
