Background: The forehead is the largest surface area of the face without distinct features. Between the eyebrows and the frontal hairline lies a surface that, while not completely flat, generally is smooth without obvious prominences. Thus when a bump or projection appears on the forehead it is easily observed. Unless there is hair covering the Read More…
Background: Changing the projection of the chin is the most common lower facial reshaping procedure. Most of these movements are done horizontally and one can debate the merits of an implant vs a bony genioplasty approach to do so. But when it comes to vertically lengthening the chin an implant has dimensional limitations. For significant Read More…
Background: Testicular enhancement is different than testicular replacement surgery. One is aesthetic and the other is reconstructive. One uses the opposite normal intact testicle as the exact size of the replacement while the other uses the size of both natural testicles to determine how to make an implant to enhance its size. One of two Read More…
Background: Pectoral implants are the male version of chest enhancement which has many differences from that of its female counterpart of breast implants. Besides the obvious differences in implant structure (solid male implant vs gel-filled female implant) the other major difference is in how they impact the pectoral muscle. While many breast implants are placed Read More…
Background: Reshaping the shoulder for a less wide and more rounded shape can be effectively done by reducing the length of the clavicle bone. The location of the bone removal is performed on the inner half of the bone as the scar can be less visible in the supraclavicular fossa. The interesting side benefit of Read More…
Background: Reductive soft tissue cheek procedures historically consist of the well known buccal lipectomy. While commonly performed its anatomic location and the extent of its effect on the midface is often under appreciated. When taken in the context of the trampoline concept of the midface, the buccal lipectomy is not a comprehensive cheek thinning/reductive procedure. Read More…
Background: One of the common and popular body contouring surgeries today is the Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL surgery. The goal of the surgery is to create a larger buttock appearance. The name, however, doesn’t really describe how the procedure creates this effect and is even a bit misleading. In reality this is a fat Read More…
Background: Bicep implants are the primary method of aesthetic muscle augmentation of the arms. While there are tricep and forearm implants as well they are not done as frequently as that of the bicep muscle. There are different locations for the bicep implant placement and the incisional access to do so. Each has their own Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation using an implant is commonly viewed as a ‘simple and easy’ procedure. It is certainly the least complicated of all facial implant procedures as it involves only a single implant placement on the front edge of the chin bone. And while there are few anatomic obstacles on the way to the chin, Read More…
Background: The back of the head is prone to having several types of aesthetically unfavorable bony projections. These come from the occipital bone which makes up all of the lower back of the head. Its primary function is to protect the brain from trauma and provides a broad surface for the muscle attachments of the Read More…
