Currently, this Harvard-MIT graduate is leading advances in many areas of cosmetic surgery and is constantly looking to the future. For example, he is currently studying the induction of new bone growth with researchers in Europe. This is a more natural approach to enhance facial features such as the chin, jawline & malar regions. This is destined to replace facial implants of silicone or other currently used materials such as hydroxyapatite.
