Background: Sagging of the breasts is both a normal and expected result of aging and the natural side position of the breasts on the torso. The amount of breast sagging that occurs is influenced by numerous factors including the natural size and shape of the breasts, pregnancies, weight loss, amount of breast tissue involution and Read More…
Background: The most significant forehead feature in men are the brow bones. While the brow bone shape seems fairly simplistic it actually has a complex topography that is created by the development of the frontal sinuses medially and the frontal skull bone laterally. The perception of the size of the brow bones is determined by Read More…
Background: Male brow bone reduction almost always requires a bone flap technique for maximal effectiveness. However, it is not the technique of brow bone reduction that is the major consideration in the surgery for men. Rather it is the location of the incision that I find to be the most important consideration which not only Read More…
Background: While men naturally have more visible brow bones due to an increased frontal sinus development, a few men will develop a larger brow bone protrusion than normal. This can be exacerbated in some by a more sloped forehead that lies above it. There is no specific measurement of how much brow bone protrusion is Read More…
Background: Lower facial or jaw asymmetry is one of the most common forms of facial asymmetry. The projecting nature of the chin/lower jaw, its paired development from the embryonic brachial arches and the relative complexity of the mandibular shape with its various attached soft tissues creates a lot of potential for an asymmetric shape.

As a result it occurs in some people that the frontal eminences may remain somewhat prominent when the forehead is fully developed. Because there is a frontal eminence on each side of the forehead any residual prominence Read More…
Background: The shape of the cheek is primarily controlled by the projection of the zygomatic body and the convexity of the zygomatic arch behind it. Given the length and potential variability of these combined zygomatic bone shapes, there is ample opportunity for one cheek to be different from the other. The degree of convexity or Read More…
Background: While pectoral implants may be for male chest enhancement they are not the equivalent of breast implants for women. Besides the solid composition of pectoral implants, they are also different than breast implants because they are intended to create a pure muscular augmentation effect. This means that the lateral border of the muscle should Read More…
Background: Manipulation of the frontal sinus cavity is an essential part of brow bone reduction surgery. Removal of the outer table of the frontal sinus bone, reshaping of its osseous form and replacement back over the large exposed underlying sinus cavity are the essential elements of the procedure. While it rarely is a problem, the Read More…
Background: As men age erectile dysfunction is not uncommon and multiple therapies exist to treat it. Medications, surgery and implants are all options that have various roles in its treatment. Penile prostheses, many of which can be manually activated and deactivated, are a well known surgical device that is widely used. It addresses the most Read More…
