Background: The earlobe has long been an anatomic location for personal adornment. From piercings to endless styles of ear rings, just about every conceivable variation of jewelry has been adapted to be applied to the earlobe. One of the more recent practices of earlobe fashion has been that or stretching or gauging the earlobe with Read More…
Background: As the face ages, numerous consistent tissue changes occur. Skin sagging, diminishing facial volume and the development of wrinkles and folds are commonly seen. While one of the smallest structures on the face, the earlobe is not immune to these same aging changes. As the only part of the ear that has no Read More…
Background: Tummy tucks, or an abdominoplasty, is a proven method of abdominal reshaping. For the majority of women who have had children, a tummy tuck rather than liposuction alone will produce a better result.

While the forehead can resist significant forces, Read More…
Background: Keloid scars are one of the most difficult scar problems. They are hard to stop growing and removing them is no guarantee that they will not return. Their high recurrence rate is well chronicled. One of the reasons keloids can recur is that they are incompletely excised. Leaving but just a miniscule amount Read More…
Background: One of the most challenging of all plastic surgery procedures of the face is ear reconstruction. Microtia, or congenital absence of the external, is the most extreme challenge when it comes to making an ear essentially from scratch. A more common, although not less challenging, is that of partial ear reconstruction. Whether it Read More…
Background: The lips have become a significant focus of facial enhancement, largely attributed to not only existing cultural standards but the use of injectable fillers. Adding volume and increasing the size of the lips has become relatively easy and immediate with a few simple sticks of a needle. Increasing the height and volume of Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation is the original and the most common area of facial skeletal enhancement. As a projecting edge of bone that is fairly easy to access, placing a chin implant is understandably perceived as a very simple and near error-free facial implant procedure. Despite this commonly-held belief, however, chin implants do have problems Read More…
