Background: The request to improve a sagging breast as well as to increase its size is a common one. The success of combining a breast lift with implants is a balance between how much the breast is lifted and the size of the breast implants. These are two operations that fight against each other to Read More…
Background: Chin implants are typically perceived as a ‘simple’ procedure that is easy to do with a high rate of success. The reality of chin augmentation is, however, far different. While the implant is responsible for creating the effect the preoperative implant style and size selection as well as its surgical placement determines its success. Read More…
Background: Aesthetic augmentation of the hips is far more challenging that other body areas for two reasons. First the common use of injection fat grafting, unlike that of the buttocks, has far less predictable results. Fat survives more poorly in the hips than the buttocks for unknown reasons. Second, there are no standard hip implants Read More…
Background: Total jawline augmentation has historically been done by a combination of standard chin and jaw angle implants. While effective for some they ‘fail’ as often as they succeed for three reasons. First when three implants are placed around the curve of the jawline perfect placement of symmetry of them is very difficult to achieve. Read More…
Background: The development of the external ear is one of the most complex embryological features in the head and neck region. Its origin is from six mesenchymal proliferations of the 1st and 2nd pharyngeal arches, also known as the auricular hillocks, which initially appear at six weeks in utero and is fully formed by the Read More…
Background: Ample projection of the midface is determined by numerous bony and soft tissue landmarks. The most classic sign of a midface deficiency is an underbite. The more posterior positioning of the maxillary arch compared to the mandibular teeth can occur in isolation but often is also part of a more global midface deficiency. In Read More…
Background: The vertical length of the face is classically divided into thirds. The lower third of the face is defined by a linear measurement between the base of the nose and the bottom of the chin. While such measurements can easily be taken to determine if one has a short lower face, there are numerous Read More…
Background: There are many types of aesthetic facial asymmetries. The classic developmental ones are where one side of the face is smaller than the other side in the vertical dimension. (one side of the face can also be abnormally larger than the other side but this is fairly rare) In these commonly seen aesthetic asymmetries Read More…
Background: The buccal lipectomy is a well known facial defatting procedure that is commonly done. It is a dramatic procedure in that a discrete collection of fat is extracted from an incision inside the mouth. While it is a straightforward procedure to perform there are a lot of misconceptions about the procedure including what its Read More…
Background: While fat injections is the most popular form of buttock augmentation (BBL surgery) it is not the only one. When inadequate fat reserves exist for harvest or prior fat injections have had inadequate survival buttock implants are the alternative treatment. While once little used with a high rate of complications buttock implants have evolved Read More…
