Male Surgical Lip Lifts and Advancements Case Study

Introduction For changing the size of the lips there are two surgical options, lifts and advancements. They are called surgical because tissue is either removed or changed position to create a permanent lip enhancement. Their effects are quite different both in execution and in the result they create. They are often confused as one (lifts) Read More…

The Custom Orbital Frame Implant Case Study

Introduction Orbital frame or combined brow bone and infraorbital augmentation is a powerful upper-to-midface structural enhancement implant approach. A combined supraorbital (brow bone) and infraorbital rim augmentation addresses deficiencies on both the upper and lower orbital rims. This creates a stronger, more defined orbital frame, balances projection, and corrects negative vector or recessed midface features. Read More…

Nasal Implant Modification Technique for Tissue Ingrowth

Nasal Implant Modification Case Study Introduction Nasal implants are synthetic materials placed inside the nose to enhance its structure or shape. They are commonly used in primary and revision rhinoplasty—particularly when patients require additional support or volume along the nasal bridge. Most often, this refers to strengthening or augmenting a low or weak bridge, a Read More…

Earlobe Reduction Case Study

Introduction Earlobe reduction is a minor cosmetic procedure designed to make large, elongated, or stretched earlobes smaller and more proportionate. Patients commonly seek this procedure when their earlobes appear too long, wide, or heavy—whether naturally, from aging, or after years of wearing heavy earrings. The procedure reshapes the lower portion of the ear by removing Read More…

Macrotia Reduction with Middle Third Excision Technique Case Study

Introduction Vertical ear reduction—also known as vertical ear shortening or macrotia reduction—is a surgical procedure that decreases the overall height of the external ear while preserving its natural contour. It is performed when a patient has macrotia, a condition in which the ears are normally shaped but disproportionately tall. This procedure addresses ear height only Read More…

Custom Jawline Implant After Vertical Lengthening Genioplasty Case Study

Introduction A vertical lengthening bony genioplasty (VLBG) adjusts the chin (symphysis) by moving the lower segment downward to increase lower facial height.A custom jawline implant addresses the entire jawline: chin width, jawline length, ramus width, gonial angles, and overall contour. When performed together: The bone movement fixes the vertical deficiency. The implant restores or enhances Read More…

Custom Jawline Implant Replacement for Sliding Genioplasty and Jaw Angle Implants Case Study

Introduction A custom jawline implant is a fully individualized implant designed to enhance the definition, symmetry, and overall contour of the jawline. Unlike standard chin or jaw-angle implants, a custom jawline implant is created specifically for the patient’s bone structure, aesthetic goals, and facial proportions. Extending from angle to angle, it can provide: Stronger, more Read More…

Custom Infraorbital-Malar Implants For Failed Fat Grafting Augmentation – Case Study

Introduction Custom Infraorbital–malar implants are facial implants designed to augment the under-eye (infraorbital) region and the cheekbone (malar) area simultaneously. Such implant designs are only available by custom fabrication in which they fitted to match the patient’s unique skeletal anatomy based on 3-D CT scan imaging.They are most commonly used to correct: Flat or weak Read More…

Secondary Submental Chin Reduction After A Primary Intraoral Chin Reduction – Case Study

Introduction Bony chin reduction, when performed by shaving, can be done from two different approaches, either from above (intraoral) or from below (submental). While both approaches provide access to the chin bone the dimensional reductions that can be achieved between ram are different. The submental approach provides direct, wide exposure of the lower chin bone Read More…

Adam’s Apple Augmentation for Neck Masculinization Case Study

Introduction Tracheal augmentation refers to surgical procedures intended to enlarge, reinforce, or reshape the trachea (windpipe) to improve airflow. As a form of reconstructive airway surgery, tissue or graft material is added to widen the airway or stabilize weak or collapsed segments. It is not typically considered a cosmetic procedure—unlike a tracheal shave, which reduces Read More…
