History of Plastic Surgery

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Dr. Clayton Moliver

Plastic Surgery – History Explained Plastic surgery has come a far way since its inception, but what was plastic surgery before modern medicine? The term plastic surgery comes from the adjective plastic which denotes sculpting. The origins of plastic comes from the greek word plastikē, which means “the art of modeling”. Believe it or not, the first plastic surgeries were performed by the ancient Egyptians and Romans. Romans performed only simple surgeries at the time, such as repairing damaged ears.

Male Chest Surgery

Posted on December 27, 2012 by Dr. Clayton Moliver

Male Chest Surgery – Gynecomastia Gynecomastia is a medical term that originates from the Greek words for “women-like breasts.” This condition is far more common than many realize. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of the male population. It may affect only one breast or both. Certain drugs such as anabolic steroids, alcohol, marijuana, as well as medications containing estrogen may cause enlarged male breasts. Certain medical conditions including cancer and impaired liver function may also be a contributing factor. It is widely accepted that a large percentage of cases derive from unknown sources.

Breast Augmentation

Posted on September 28, 2012 by Dr. Clayton Moliver

Breast Augmentation Houston – Over or Under Implants? One of the primary choices in breast augmentation is whether to have the implants placed “under” or “over” the muscle (sub-muscular or sub-glandular). This muscle is the pectoralis major muscle which lies over the rib cage and underneath the breast. It is the chest muscle that is commonly developed in individuals who lift weights. Traditionally, when the majority of implants were silicone, implants were most often placed underneath the breast gland and on top of the muscle. With the use of saline filled implants, women who are thinner or who have relatively little breast … Continue reading

Pinned-Back Otoplasty – Softening Ear Appearance Although we can’t control the body features we’re given at birth, we do have options to go back and make adjustments! Otoplasty or Pinned-Back Otoplasty, is a wonderful procedure we use to soften the appearance of large and/or protruding ears … a surgery especially popular for children.

Rhinoplasty

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Dr. Clayton Moliver

Rhinoplasty Surgical Procedures A large nose might be acceptable on a man, but it can be quite undesired by women. Today we do Rhinoplasty procedures completely different from 20 years ago. Our whole goal is natural. At one time, nose jobs would leave the nose at a pronounced pointed tip on the end. We want to gently shave away the unwanted ridges and bumps to leave a soft shape that people say just looks nice! If you look at models, they don’t necessarily have “tiny” noses. It’s more about clean lines and gentle ridges. During Rhinoplasty surgery, we make a … Continue reading
