Background: While the nose is composed of bone and cartilage components, its greatest anatomic complexity is in its lower third. The near union of the lower alar cartilages in the midline with the septal support behind it makes for the external size and shape of the nasal tip. The lower alar cartilages is composed of Read More…
Background: Custom jawline implants are the most powerful aesthetic structural changer of the lower third of the face. However, while they are custom made for each patient, such custom designs can not guarantee that the patient’s desired aesthetic result will be achieved. Until there comes a time when the exact correlation between an implant design Read More…
Background: Forehead feminization today is typically associated with a transgender male to female patient. The most common procedure used for this forehead softening effect is a brow bone reduction. Because the congenital male brow bone is more developed than a females the technique used to adequately reduce its projection is a bone flap setback technique Read More…
Background: The presentation and excision of cysts are a mundane procedural request by patients to their plastic surgeon. They often are not the primary procedure the patient is undergoing and usually a ‘hey doc’ request as an addition. Such lumps and bumps are usually garden variety dermoid cysts and lipomatous masses that can develop anywhere Read More…

It may be done as the last treatment possible for patients that have had more standard procedures such as liposuction, BBL surgery or tummy tucks and remain unsatisfied with their waistline shape. It may also be the only good option for patients that Read More…

Having a preformed design with an assured smooth shape creates head shape changes that were heretofore impossible without major scalp incisions and the use of synthetic bone cements in large quantities. In an indirect way it is a lot like breast implants (although Read More…
Background: Total or complete lower jaw augmentation of any significance can really only be done by a custom wrap around jawline implant. By creating an augmentation line along the entire inferolateral bony border from one angle to the other a true 3D jaw augmentation is obtained. To compare what this type of implant can do Read More…
Background: The shape of anyone’s nose is a result of the size, shape and thicknesses of its cartilage, bone and skin components. These five pieces of cartilage and two pieces of bone are able to be modified to varying degrees if one wants to change the shape of their nose. How well or poorly these Read More…
Background: Custom jawline implants can be made of a variety of materials each with their own advantages and disadvantages. One of these materials is porous polyethylene or Medpor. It offers a firm soft tissue adhesion to its surface to which that advantage over other materials which do not develop this strong adhesion is not clinically Read More…
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…
