Custom Jawline Implant Removal Outcomes

Jawline Implant Removal: What Happens After? Jawline implant removal is a relatively straightforward procedure, but the changes that occur afterward are often misunderstood. While removing the implant is simple, how the face looks afterward depends on several anatomic and time-related factors. Does the Jawline Go Back to Normal? Not exactly. Once a jawline implant has Read More…

Jawline Implant Removal: Frequently Asked Questions

Will my face go back to normal after jawline implant removal? Not completely. While your face will return closer to its natural shape, the tissues and bone have adapted to the implant. Most patients notice a slight loss of jawline definition and a softer contour compared to before the implant. Does jawline implant removal cause Read More…

Direct Browlift in Vertical Orbital Dystopia Case Example

A direct browlift is a brow-lifting operation in which skin is removed just above the eyebrow, and the brow is elevated by closing that excision. It is mainly used to treat brow ptosis, especially when the droop affects the upper visual field or creates significant asymmetry. Compared with endoscopic or coronal brow lifts, the direct Read More…

Custom Facial Implants and Patient Age – Guidelines for Surgery

Patient age matters with custom facial implants, but not because there is one magic cutoff. The real issue is whether facial skeletal growth is essentially complete and whether the patient has the maturity and expectations for a permanent implant procedure. Teens in particualar  should meet milestones in growth and physical maturity before plastic surgery, and Read More…

Decision Tree for Implant vs Genioplasty in Revisions

In treating chin implant asymmetries the decision is between implant revision vs. sliding genioplasty. This is how to think about that choice in a structured manner.s Decision Tree: Implant vs. Sliding Genioplasty (Revision Cases) Step 1: Is the implant malpositioned? YES Proceed with implant revision (reposition ± pocket correction ± fixation) NO  go to Step Read More…

Ear Lift For Asymmetry Correction Case Example

If an ear “sits too low,” you’re usually talking about vertical malposition of the ear, not projection (how far it sticks out). That’s a more specialized issue than a standard otoplasty. Here’s the reality: there isn’t a simple “ear lift” like there is for the face. Fixing a low-set ear typically means surgically repositioning the Read More…

Female Forehead Osteoma Removal Case Example

Forehead osteomas are benign (non-cancerous) bone tumors that commonly appear on the frontal bone of the skull—basically the forehead area. What they are Made of dense, mature bone Typically slow-growing Feel like a hard, immovable lump under the skin Usually painless Why they occur The exact cause isn’t always clear, but possible factors include: Genetics Read More…

Surgical Correction of Female Chin Implant Asymmetry Case Example

Chin implant asymmetry is a well known aesthetic complication and can arise from implant malposition, soft tissue differences, bony asymmetry, lack of secure fixation or other healing-related factors. Surgical correction depends on identifying the exact cause. Common Causes Implant malposition (most common): shifted, rotated, or not centered Incorrect implant size/shape Underlying bony asymmetry Soft tissue Read More…

Creating The Wide Lower Jaw Shape in a Female Case Example

A wider jaw in women is mostly about the mandibular angle—the point where the lower jaw (mandible) turns upward toward the ear. This usually refer to a broader lower face, where the jawline extends outward more and the angle of the mandible is less sharp. What it looks like Wide/obtuse jaw angle (more open angle): Lower Read More…
