Background: The projecting chin is a three dimensional structure that has both horizontal projection, vertical height and transverse width to it. But within these bony dimensions on both its outer and inner surfaces are small discrete areas of topographic features. Many of these small bony features are known as fossa and tubercles which means small Read More…
Background: The shape of the head is affected by a variety of factors during its development. One of items major factors is skull sutures which serve as a region of bine growth stimulus as the growing brain pushes the growing plate of bone outward. Because of their major influence on skull growth their premature partial Read More…
Background: Like any facial augmentation procedure there is always the need for a second procedure to adjust its dimensions in some manner for an improved aesthetic outcome. When it comes to augmentations done by implants this is usually a bit easier since an established pocket exists where implant retrieval can be done. But when it Read More…

This can easily be seen by looking at Read More…
Background: Osteomas are well known benign bony overgrowths that frequently occur on the skull. The most common patient that presents for osteoma removal is when it occurs on the forehead for the obvious visibility reasons. It is easy to forget that the forehead (frontal bone) is part of the skull which explains their common occurrence Read More…
Background: Congenital absence of part or most of the ear is known as microtia. The reconstruction of microtia has a well established history which consists of removal of the remaining deformed ear cartilage and replacement with a hand carved rib graft framework. Soft tissue coverage of the ear framework typically comes from the elevation of Read More…
Background: The shape of the head is largely created by the skull bones with one exception….the side of the head. While there is bone on the side of the head, this bone is covered by the large temporal muscle. Running from the side of the eye and forehead the muscle covers the entire side of Read More…
