Background: In aesthetic testicle implant enhancements custom implants are almost always needed. As the largest standard testicle implant is 5.0cms, any size larger requires a custom implant design. These custom implants are made of an ultrasoft solid testicle implant material whose softness is based on the durometer (cross-linking) of the material during manufacture. But as Read More…
Background: Skull defects can be reconstructed by a variety of methods from implants to grafts. If the patient prefers an autologous method then a bone graft is needed. Technically a bone graft could be obtained from a tissue bank (cadaveric or allograft bone) or from the patient themselves. But for a truly autologous bone graft Read More…
Background: The chin as a projecting facial structure has three dimensions. Of these dimensions horizontal projection is the most commonly seen and pursued by patients.

Background: The clavicle may be a well known and visible human bone but its anatomic shape is under appreciated. While often perceived as having a relatively symmetric tubular shape throughout its actual dimensions are quite different. First it is not a straight bone but instead has a lazy-s shape that is angulated forward. The thickness Read More…
