Background: The size and appearance of the forehead is heavily influenced by the location of the surrounding hairline, particularly the frontal portion of it. Frontal hairlines that are high, as in patients that have a long forehead, are common aesthetic concerns. Soft tissue forehead reduction or lowering of the frontal hairline can be done by Read More…
Augmentation of the periorbital region is most commonly associated with infraorbital (undereye) and supraorbital (brow bone) areas. By far this is most commonly done with various synthetic injectable materials, such as hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite materials, or with fat injections. There is far less requests and experience for lateral orbital rim augmentation. Although in Read More…
The determinant of adverse neck changes with aging is highly reflected in the cervicomental angle. The lower and more open the cervicomental angle is the worse the neck becomes in appearance. The options for treatment of a sagging opening cervicomental angle neck are liposuction, submentoplasty, anterior necklift and a full lower facelift. (neck-jowl lift) The Read More…
Forehead augmentation in the male is distinctly different than that for females.The key differences are that men often need a concurrent brow bone augmentation and their foreheads are distinctly wider and less round than women. Women often want a more vertical forehead while men need to have a slight backward slope to it near the Read More…
Custom jawline implants provide the most effective method of augmentation of the lower third of the face. Their complete surface area coverage of the infer lateral jawline assured the significant shape and volumetric enhancement in a connected fashion. Of patients who present for such jawline augmentation about 40% have prior implants in place. Whether it Read More…
The chin implant is viewed as a low risk facial augmentation procedure and it is certainly the most commonly done. In theory it is the easiest of all facial implants to perform as the incisional access is very close to the implantation site (whether it is intraoral or submental), it is a single implant over Read More…
Background: While the brow bone is often perceived as a uniform raised bar of bone above the eyes, its topographic anatomy is more complex. The medial brow bone is made up of the expanded underlying frontal sinuses with a midline dip between them due to the septum which separates the paired sinus cavities. The outer Read More…
Traditionally augmentation of the midface was perceived as that of cheek implants. Or it could have meant premaxillary/paranasal or tear trough implant augmentation. These associations are made because these facial implants are what is available as standard or off-the-shelf midface style implants. As a result surgeons have been forced to mix and match these standard Read More…
Reduction of wide shoulders can be effectively achieved through shoulder narrowing surgery. By removing a segment of the clavicle at its inner third, the width of the shoulders is brought in as the bone is put back together,pulling the shoulder closer to the clavicle. To remove an adequate length of clavicle bone surgical access is Read More…
Background: The frontal bone of the skull makes up the bony forehead. Because of its prominence in the upper third of the face, it is frequently exposed to a variety of traumatic forces. To resist these traumatic forces and protect the underlying brain, the frontal bone is thick and very stout. Mild forces are merely Read More…
