Augmentation of the central midface involves augmenting along the pyriform aperture bone that surrounds the nasal cavity. These include the options of premaxillary, paranasal or combined premaxillary-paranasal augmentations. Numerous materials and grafts have been used for these nasal base augmentations, all of which can be successful with good surgical technique and material/graft handling. One effective Read More…
Custom skull implant designs are the most effective approach to just about any aesthetic head augmentation problem. By using a preformed implant with a design based on the patient’s 3D skull CT scan the desired head shape change is more likely to be achieved than using older bone cement techniques where intraoperative hand shaping of Read More…
One aesthetic condition at the penile-scrotal junction that can occur is webbing. Normally there is a sharp near 90 degree angle between the shaft of the penis and the frontal surface of the scrotum. But when excessive skin develops a turkey neck or web appears between these two structures, hence the term penoscrotal webbing. There Read More…
In vertical orbital dystopia (VOD) one eye sits lower than the other which is the direct result of a lower orbital floor and infraorbital rim. While it is uncommon that the lower bony floor of the eye is the only abnormal part of the hard and soft tissue orbital box and the resultant eye asymmetry, Read More…
Custom brow bone implants are the only permanent and aesthetically effective method for this specific type of aesthetic augmentation of the lower forehead which is most commonly done in men. The implant is placed using an endoscopic technique that in many ways is similar to an endoscopic brow lift, at least in terms of the Read More…
Bumps and contour irregularities are not uncommon across the large convex surfaces of the skull. Where they are the most aesthetically bothersome is on the forehead , whether it is on a man or woman, due to its exposure on the face. Some forehead bumps are distinct osteomas with a raised distinct border and a Read More…
Custom jawline implants are the definitive method for lower jaw/facial augmentation. By controlling all dimensions of the implant shape it is very much like expanding the bone boundaries of the entire lower jawbone. (specifically the inferolateral border from one jaw angle to the other) While patients understandably pay enormous attention and put a lot of Read More…
Downturning of the corner of the mouth is a frequent aesthetic request for change. While most commonly associated with aging some people have it as a natural shape of their mouth. In my experience it occurs more commonly in people who have a horizontal smile pattern as opposed to a superior-oblique pattern regardless of their Read More…
Custom jawline implants provide the most effective and complete method of creating a more distinct and augmented lower third of the face. Because of its connected design from one jaw angle to the other (wrap around) it augments the entire inferolateral border of the jawline. While creating such jawline implants creates impressive changes on the Read More…
In waistline narrowing surgery the distal sections of the lower free floating ribs are removed to allow the waistline to collapse inward. While the ribs are not the only structures supporting the width of the waistline they are the most rigid. Without rigid support the soft tissue layers of the waistline eventually contract down/inward, very Read More…
