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…
Background: Severe sagging of the breasts occurs for a variety of reasons but the most common is weight loss. 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…
Background: It is well known in breast implant surgery that the final shape of the breasts afterwards is highly influenced by what they looked like before. Besides asymmetry, the most common adverse breast shape problem seen in breast augmentation patients is sagging or ptosis. Such breast mound sagging can occur in many degrees of Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the nose is a frequently needed maneuver in rhinoplasty surgery. This is particularly needed in many ethnic patients who are genetically prone to low and wide nasal bones and lack of an elevated straight dorsal line. Dorsal augmentation requires some form of material which can be either synthetic or harvested from the Read More…
Background: Flatness in the midface occurs primarily due to natural development and occurs in certain ethnicities. The Asian face is well known to be broader with less anterior projection and it is most manifest in the appearance of the nose and the underlying maxillary support. But loss of maxillary support can also occur from trauma, Read More…
Background: The importance of a well defined jawline in a male is essentially equivalent to breasts in a female. It is certainly the single most important facial feature for a man and can even be argued that it is the most important overall body feature. Improving a man’s facial profile has historically been focused on Read More…
