Background: Contour deformities in the temporal region can be caused by either bone or muscle deficiencies. They often develop from prior surgeries such as craniotomies for tumors and infantile cranial vault surgeries for craniosynostoses. Elevating the temporalis muscle at any age often results in muscle retraction and/or muscle atrophy. Even though the surgeon may resuspend Read More…
Background: The buttocks are prone to a variety of sagging conditions, most commonly caused by weight loss and age. Besides loss of buttock projection from loss of volume, the lower buttocks can drop. What type of drop or sag that can occur depends on the position of the infragluteal fold. If the infragluteal fold is Read More…
Background: Any ear that is vertically longer than 65mm to 70mm would generally be perceived to be very large. Despite the numbers, however, if a patient thinks their ears are too large then they are. But in my experience patients that I see for macrotia reduction always have an ear length that is at least Read More…
Background: Breast implants are intended to enlarge the existing breast mounds. In so doing it is often erroneously believed that other features of the breast may be similarly improved. Unfortunately this is rarely true. Conversely any other deformities or asymmetries of the breast may actually become more noticeable not less. The most visible feature of Read More…

A strong jawline is historically associated with increased masculinity. Women are more associated with softer and more recessed chin positions and jawline shapes. But the contemporary female jawline is now desired to have a more definitive Read More…
Background: Fat grafting to the buttocks is most commonly done for aesthetic reasons as in the well known Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure. Large numbers of patients treated around the world has shown that it can be very successful with relatively high amounts of fat retention in many patients. Less is well known, however, about Read More…
Background: Jawline augmentation has become a popular surgery today as patients seek a stronger and more well defined lower facial shape. Augmenting just the front of the jaw (chin augmentation), while still commonly done, often overlooks a more complete jawline change. The addition of jaw angle implants to that of the chin creates a total Read More…
Background: The skull is prone to having numerous types of irregularities on its many surfaces. Bumps and indentations are common and can occur from natural development or from later trauma after birth. The fusion of the various skull plates and anterior and posterior fontanelles affords the opportunity for such skull irregularities to occur. One such Read More…
Background: Liposuction remains one of the most popular and commonly performed body contouring procedure. Like all surgical techniques liposuction has evolved over the years and there are now a myriad of technologies available to help perform the procedure. I call all of these liposuction technologies ‘energy-driven’ since they all use various devices and different energies Read More…
