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…

Men represent a very small percent (1 to 2%) of those patients who undergo lip modifications, whether it is injectable fillers or excisional lip modifications. The long upper lip is often viewed Read More…
Background: Breast augmentation remains as one of the most popular body contouring procedures. In simplicity, breast augmentation works by using an implant to expand out the existing breast tissue. Therein lies how the final breast result will look…it will reflect nothing more than a ‘blown-up’ version of the existing breast mound in most cases. Read More…
Background: Facelifting in men is less commonly done than in women. This is for a variety of reasons including better quality of bearded facial skin that is more resistant to sagging, more tolerance for the profile of an aging neck, and concerns about having the procedure. Many men wait until their sagging necks and Read More…
