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…
Background: Most men that seek chin augmentation by an implanted device are satisfied with rounded anatomic implant shapes.

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.
