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…
The well known sliding genioplasty is sometimes selected by patients because they wish to avoid a submental scar from a chin implant. The incision location may not be the primary reason but may on the list of several motivations for choosing a bony chin augmentation procedure.While an intraoral incision avoids a scar it has its Read More…
All forms of skull reshaping surgery require incisions to perform them. Like most of aesthetic surgery the access incisions and the scars that they create are a tradeoff to achieve the desired aesthetic result. While in many procedures these scars are fairly hidden and do not represent a visible tradeoff, such can not be said Read More…
Downturning of the corners of the mouth can occur from aging or as part of a natural mouth shape. Regardless of its origin downturned mouth corners are not a desirable mouth shape as it conveys an impression of unhappiness or even appearing angry or mad. The most common form of lifting of the downturned mouth Read More…
While the entire face can be affected by congenital asymmetry the lower jaw is commonly involved. Beyond the severe congenital jaw asymmetries which are associated with major brachial arch deficiencies (e.g., hemifacial microsomia) the far more common jaw asymmetries are more ‘aesthetic’ in nature. This means that the occlusion is fine and there may not Read More…
Testicle implants are placed through skin incisions at various locations on the scrotum. For any standard testicle implant size (5cm in length or less or less than 40cc volume) a small skin incision poses no restriction to placing the implant. The extra soft durometer of a silicone testicle implant can be easily compressed between one’s Read More…
Cheek implants have been around for over fifty years but despite this long duration they are few techniques described as to how to place them. Most cheek implants are placed through an intraoral approach which is the most direct line of access to where they are typically placed. In watching surgeons do the procedure I Read More…
