Background: Cheek implants are the most common surgical method of midface augmentation. But determining what the shape and amount that the cheek augmentation should be for any particular patient is far from an exact science. Unlike chin implants, in which linear assessment and computer imaging can really help define what the patient wants to achieve, Read More…
Background: Lower leg contouring is most commonly done by liposuction. This is effective when the primary problem is caused by excess fat with a minimal amount of redundant skin. But when the skin becomes a major excess as well liposuction is not going to be optimally effective. This issue becomes magnified when the redundant skin Read More…
Background: One of the most recognized skull abnormalities is plagiocephaly. This is a term that literally means ‘twisted skull’ or medically known as cranioscoliosis. When viewed from above the head looks lopsided or rotated. This is typically seen as a flatness on one side of the back of the head with an associated forehead protrusion Read More…
Background: The width and shape of the shoulders is highly gender specific. While broad shoulders are desired by most men, more narrow shoulders are usually preferred by women. Men prefer a sharper shoulder shape while women a more rounder one. While men seek surgical methods to large their shoulders, women may seek a method to Read More…
Background: The jawline and neck are connected by more than just anatomic proximity. The amount of projection of the chin and the length of the jawline affects the appearance of the neck profile. The shorter the chin projection the more obtuse the cervicomental neck angle becomes. Conversely the greater the chin projection the less obtuse/more Read More…
Background: The mid-body region for contouring can be done by a variety of surgical procedures. The most well known and commonly done are liposuction, fat transfer augmentations and buttock implants. This collection of now standard procedures can satisfy most patient’s needs for a smaller waistline, larger and more shapely buttocks and, in some cases, even Read More…
Background: Lip augmentation is one of the most commonly performed injectable aesthetic facial procedures. While very effective and instantaneous it does require repeated injections and costs to be maintained. Some patients will eventually develop the phenomenon of filler fatigue and either stop having the injections or search for a permanent surgical alternative. The two surgical Read More…
Background: The skull generally has a smooth convex shape of various arcs on its five surfaces. Abnormal and unaesthetic bony prominences do occur and are often associated along the lines of the sutures due to developmental bony overgrowth. The sutures are active sites of bone formation in the early years and the interplay between the Read More…
Background: Chin implants are available in three different material compositons, over a dozen different styles with numerous sizes for each style. With such a large number of chin implant options one would think that just about every chin augmentation dimensional need can be met by an off-the-shelf implant. But the vast majority of the many Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetry affects the face in seemingly variable and unpredictable ways. But in reality most facial asymmetries are relatively complete (affects the entire side of the face) if one looks closely enough and follows one of two patterns. (lower/inferior and upper/superior types) In other words they are more predictable than they may appear. In Read More…
