Temporal implants offer the only method of permanent temporal augmentation…that is also easily reversible. Placed in the subfascial plane on top of the anterior temporalis muscle, there is no risk of facial nerve injury nor visible edges of the implant.The skin incision to place them is done back behind the temporal hairline so it is Read More…
The reduction of skull lumps and bump is a not uncommon request in skull reshaping surgery. Raised areas of the skull can occur for a variety of reasons although the most common is congenital, being just the way that the skull formed. One unique type of skull lump is not really a lump at all. Read More…
Custom skull implants have become a successful method for correcting many types of skull deformities where augmentation is needed. Interestingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, many aesthetic skull deformities are most apparent in men due to a ‘lack’ of hair. Whether the exposure of the skull is due to a shaved head, a short hair Read More…
Augmentation of temporal hollowing has become a popular aesthetic procedure. While synthetic fillers and fat offer simplicity, they do not create a permanent treatment solution. Temporal implants fill that need and can be placed through a relatively minor surgical procedure. The first generation standard temporal implants are of a soft flexible silicone material that is Read More…
Primary or secondary correction of nasal bridge deformities is now well known to be corrected by injectable fillers. The use of hyaluronic acid-based (HA) injectable fillers provides a quick and very directed approach to a wide variety of nasal contour deformities. While effective, no HA filler to the nose provides a permanent contour correction in Read More…

Because of the skull’s thickness, there are limits as to how much of the skull thickness that can be reduced. While there are great variabilities in the thickness of the human skull, safe Read More…
Augmentation of the central midface can be done by placing an implant along the base and sides of the nose. Known as the pyriform aperture, it is the bony outline of the nasal cavity which makes a hole in the facial skeleton to the back of the throat. The soft tissue and cartilage structure of Read More…
The width of the side of the head is controlled by the shape of the temporal bone and the thickness of the temporalis muscle, all located above the ear. While many think the bone is the main contributing factor, the thickness of the temporalis muscle should not be underestimated. By CT scan measurements it can Read More…
Temporal implants have become the surgical approach to the treatment of temporal hollowing. They offer a rapidly performed permanent solution that eclipses the temporary and inconsistent effects of synthetic fillers and fat injections. These implants are placed in the subfascial location on top of the temporalis muscle through a small vertical or obliquely oriented incision Read More…
Augmentation of the upper arm is a combination of development of the biceps and triceps muscles. The biceps is the most recognized of the two upper arm muscles and the most pursued in terms of exercise development and arm flexing. The biceps muscle is a two-headed muscle that extends on the anterior surface of the Read More…
