There are numerous small bumps on the skull that can occur that can be aesthetically bothersome. Some common examples are osteomas of the forehead and occipital knobs on the back of the head.

Testicular implants are the smallest aesthetic body implant. Despite its small size it shares several features to that of another body implant that is far more commonly used, breast implants. The similarities may not seem obvious and the implant compositions are different. (testicle implants are soft solid implants while breast implants are soft gel-filled implants) Read More…
Rhinoplasty surgery is fundamentally about altering the osseocartilaginous framework of the nose. It’s primary soft tissue effect, the redraping of the nasal skin over and around the altered support framework, is largely out of the surgeon’s direct control. But there is one soft tissue element of the nose which can be changed and that is Read More…
