Background: Jawline augmentation with standard implants employs ‘spot’ augmentation at its corners. (chin and jaw angles) Custom implant augmentation, however, covers the entire jawline and, as a result, has a more profound and complete effect on the lower third of the face. Because of its circumferential coverage it provides a true three dimensional change to Read More…
Background: Pectoral implants for men are in theory the aesthetic equivalent of breast implants in women. While this is true as a method of aesthetic chest enhancement, there are numerous significant differences between them. Those differences can be traced to what the anatomic enhancement is meant to achieve. For women the end result is an Read More…
Background: The chin is most commonly thought of as being deficient in the horizontal dimension. But there are also instances where the chin may have adequate forward projection but is deficienct in length or height. This is the most frequently overlooked dimensional deficiency of the chin in my experience as it is not uncommon to Read More…
Background: Augmentation by numerous methods is by far the most common aesthetic lip procedure. Going the other way, as in lip reductions, is a much more uncommon lip size change. But there are patients who feel embarrassed by the natural size of their lips and desire them to be reduced. In addition to its infrequency Read More…
Background: While the vast majority of buttock augmentations are done using an autologous fat injection technique, implants still have a valuable role to play in buttock augmentation/reshaping efforts. One would think that fat injections would have relegated implants to a very diminished role but the exact opposite is true. Fat injections have created an ever Read More…
Background: While cheek implant augmentation has been performed for decades there is no uniform change that all patients seek. While standard cheek implant styles and sizes exist the effects they create are uniformly desired by all. Understanding the exact dimensional changes to the cheek will determine if standard implants, modified standard implants or custom cheek Read More…
Background: The effectiveness of lower facelift surgery is based on the concepts of tissue mobilization and repositioning. This means that the loose face/jawline/neck tissues are moved back to a location where the redundancies can be excised and the scars placed in a relatively hidden location. (ears) While extremely effective and well chronicled with a long Read More…
Background: The temples are a unique aesthetic region on the side of the face. It typically has a flat or minimally concave external contour bounded by the bony temporal line superiorly, the lateral orbital rim anteriorly, the zygomatic arch inferiorly and the temporal hairline posteriorly. The temples have a hard tissue base consisting of the Read More…
Background: The temples are commonly recognized as the head/facial area that lies at the side of the eye just below the forehead. Anatomically at the skull level the temples is the juncture of four bones, the frontal, temporal, parietal and sphenoid. This joined bony areas create a deep concavity, known as the temporal fossa, which Read More…
Background: The projecting chin is a three dimensional structure that has both horizontal projection, vertical height and transverse width to it. But within these bony dimensions on both its outer and inner surfaces are small discrete areas of topographic features. Many of these small bony features are known as fossa and tubercles which means small Read More…
