Background: Shoulder narrowing surgery is a conceptually ‘simple’ aesthetic concept. Remove a piece of the clavicle, pull the two ends together and the shoulder will appear less wide. While from a conceptual standpoint this is true, actually doing it through limited surgical access from a favorable incision location successfully is a bigger surgical challenge that Read More…
Background: Of all facial areas to aesthetically enhance with implants the jaw angles are the toughest area to do so. There are multiple reasons why this is so but it comes down to lack of good visibility with the intraoral access used and that this is where the insertion is for the masseter muscle. Getting Read More…
Background: A not uncommon but less frequently treated aesthetic forehead deformity is that of prominent temporal arteries. Seen as ‘squiggly worms’ on the side of the head crossing from the temporal region into the upper lateral forehead they occur for reasons unknown. Their serpiginous pattern and location make them the undeniable course of the anterior Read More…
Background: While neck webbing occurs in a number of congenital syndromes, and occasionally in non-syndromes as well, they are most common associated with Turner’s syndrome. They may also appear most significant in Turner’s where they are fully expressed. While the exact reason why neck webs occur is not precisely known their anatomic makeup is better Read More…
Background: Facial lipoatrophy is a well known condition that is defined by fat loss in the face. This is most evident in the cheek and temporal areas where the largest collection of the fat exists in the face due to the buccal fat pad and its extensions. There are a variety for reasons why such Read More…
Background: The male forehead has several distinct features from the projection of the brow bones inferiorly to the prominence of the temporal lines at its sides. Its largest feature, however, is the slope or angulation of the broad forehead surface. Unlike females where a more straight or close to zero angulation slope is desired, men Read More…
Background: Excessive chin projection is a far more frequent aesthetic concern in women than in men.This is because men can tolerate a larger chin projection which is associated with a more masculine appearance. But there is a point where the chin projection can become excessive or hypermasculine. While that determination is ultimately up to the Read More…
Background: Jaw angle augmentation has become an increasingly popular area for facial augmentation. No longer is the chin the only lower facial area that can be enhanced by onlay bone implants. Jaw angle implants have been around for three decades when they were initially introduced in solid silicone form. Despite their existence and the development Read More…
Background: The flat back of the head is one of the most common aesthetic skull deformities seen. Although there is no biologic reason that it would occur more in men than women, most flat back of the head patients I see for treatment are men. The reason of course that more men present for treatment Read More…
Background: There are numerous challenges when performing clavicle reduction osteotomies for shoulder narrowing. One of these challenges is doing the surgery through very small incisions located close to the neck. How readily it is to work through these incisions depends on the overlying tissue thickness. While everyone assumes that the soft tissue overlying the clavicles Read More…
