Background: Depressions along the dorsal line or bridge of the nose can be caused by a wide variety of reasons. Trauma, congenital deformities and adverse outcomes from a prior rhinoplasty can create dorsal line irregularities and indentations. The use of cartilage grafts for their correction would be a standard approach. Cartilage grafts can be obtained Read More…
Background: Strong jawlines are historically associated with men as a desired masculine facial feature. While this is certainly still true today, women now desire stronger jawlines as well. But a strong jawline does not mean exactly the same thing for men and women. They are subtle gender differences in what makes up a good looking Read More…
Background: The perception of excessive head width is usually seen as a convex shape to the side of the head above the ears. This makes the side of the head bow out and gives the overall head shape more of a ‘lightbulb’ appearance particularly when the lower facial features are smaller and more narrow. There Read More…
Background: The breastbone or sternum is a central long flat bone located in the center of the chest. It serves as a connection point for the ribs which creates a strong breastplate of protection for the heart and lungs. The sternum is shaped like a necktie which consists of three parts, the upper manubrium, the Read More…
Background: Deformities of the back of the head, or of the occipital skull, are not uncommon. Due to the back of the head being exposed to pressures in utero and after birth, occipital deformation is the most frequently occurring skull shape alteration. While known to occur in certain ethnic groups (e.g., Asians) more than others, Read More…

Weight loss creates the unaesthetic combination of excessive stretched out breast skin and loss of breast volume. Occurring together this allows many breast mounds to fall over the inframammary fold carrying the nipple with it. The Read More…
Background: Fat collections exist throughout the face interpersed amongst the various tissue planes. Large deeper pockets of fat exist with the well known buccal fat pad with its various fingers throughout the deeper face extending up into the temporal regions. Thinner more widespread fat exists under the facial skin as well as right under the Read More…
Background: One of the most common of all aesthetic skull deformities is flattening of the back of the head. Commonly called plagiocephaly it causes a flatness on one side of the back of the head that is frequently associated with an overall craniofacial scoliosis. It can occur in mild to more severe manifestations whose aesthetic Read More…
Background: Increasing the size of the calf (gastrocnemius) muscles is very difficult. The tight and dense muscle fibers of this lower leg muscle take extreme muscle-building exercises to enlarge the overall muscle size. And unless one is willing to continue these exercises for the rest of one’s life, the size of the calf muscles will Read More…
Background: A custom jawline implant made from a 3D CT scan is becoming recognized as the most definitive method to modify the shape of the lower jaw. Because it is a unified one-piece implant and can be preoperatively designed to whatever dimensions the surgeon and the patient desire, it is hard to argue with Read More…
