Background: Osteomas are the most common bony tumor of the craniofacial skeleton. They are benign bone growth that is typically seen growing on another piece of bone. They appear as an outcropping or ‘mushroom’ of slowly growing bone and are easily disinguishable by appearing as a hard bump on an otherwise smooth bone surface. Read More…
Background: Breast implants are known to have a limited lifespan due to potential disruption of the implant shell. But as long as the implant shell remains intact the volumetric effect of the implants persist. Yet while breast implants remain stable the long-term effect of the appearance of the breast changes many years or decades later. Read More…
Background: An aesthetically displeasing size of the head can occur at various skull areas. One such area is at the side of the head most commonly located above the ears. When it is too wide there is a noticeable convexity or bowing out of the temporal region above the ears. A more aesthetically pleasing shape Read More…
Background: The natural oblong and round shape seen in many pictures and diagrams of the skull is not enjoyed by everyone. Many people do have various lumps, bumps and asymmetries of their skull that has developed for a variety of reasons. These are most commonly the ‘blueprint’ of their skull shape determined by their genetics Read More…
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.

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…
Background: Buttock implants offer a method of buttock augmentation when one has inadequate fat to harvest. It has become more popular over the past decade than ever before as the patient demand for buttock augmentation has risen dramatically. But unlike fat transfer there are multiple considerations when buttock implants are considered. These include size, shape Read More…
Background: While jawline augmentation is most commonly associated with men, it is gaining aesthetic significance in women as well. 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…
