Introduction Hydroxyapatite (HA) forehead augmentation is a skeletal contouring procedure that uses a bone-like material to increase projection, smooth surface irregularities, or reshape the forehead. It is most commonly performed for aesthetic contour enhancement, post-traumatic deformities, congenital asymmetries, and frontal sinus obliteration. What Is Hydroxyapatite? Hydroxyapatite is a calcium phosphate compound that closely mimics the Read More…

Custom Jaw Angle Implant Overlays: What They Are & How They’re Used

Introduction Improving the appearance of the jaw angle region after prior implant augmentation is not uncommon and is usually very fixable. The correct solution, however, depends on the specific failure pattern of the original implant. Key questions include: Where is the current implant positioned? and What additional dimensions are needed to achieve an improved jaw Read More…

Introduction Forehead implants are a surgical option to permanently reshape or augment the forehead, typically used to improve projection for flat or recessed foreheads. The concept of forehead implants may be partial or complete based on whether a brow bone augmentation effect is desired or not (forehead vs forehead-brow bone implant ) For purposes of Read More…

Bone Healing After Clavicle Reduction Osteotomies – Case Study

Introduction Reduction osteotomies of the clavicle for shoulder reshaping (shoulder narrowing or “desquaring”) follow the same core biological principles as fracture healing, but with nuances related to clavicular anatomy, vascularity, and rigid fixation. Healing typically progresses through four well-established phases: 1. Biological Phases of Healing Inflammatory Phase (0–7 days) Hematoma formation and initiation of inflammatory Read More…

AlloClae Fat Filler – What It Is and Wnat It Is For

AlloClae is a structural adipose filler developed by Tiger Aesthetics — a new type of cosmetic injectable.Unlike traditional fillers (e.g. hyaluronic acid) or typical fat-grafting (which requires harvesting your own fat via liposuction), AlloClae uses donor-derived adipose tissue (processed fat tissue) that’s sterilized and purified for safe injection. The processed tissue retains key structural elements Read More…

Comparing Fat Injection Graft Substitutes (Renuva vs AlloClae)

Fat grafting by injection is one of the most common aesthetic surgeries performed for a wide variety of soft tissue augmentation or contouring effects. While there are many variables involved in the success of such injection procedures the first one is adequate donor tissue. In cases of lack of donor tissue or exhausted donor sites Read More…

Custom Head Widening Implants Case Study

Introduction Custom head-widening implants are a highly specialized procedure performed by only a few surgeons worldwide. These implants are 3D-designed, medical-grade solid silicone devices placed along the sides of the skull—specifically over the temporal muscle region—to increase the absolute width of the head. Designed from a patient’s 3D CT scan, they typically provide 0.5–1.0 cm Read More…

Metopic Forehead Ridge Reduction – Case Study

Introduction A metopic skull ridge refers to a prominent midline bony elevation that runs down the center of the upper forehead. It originates from the metopic suture, which allows the infant skull to expand during early brain growth. This suture normally closes between 3 and 12 months of age. As it fuses, a temporary bony Read More…

Negative Orbital Vector & Custom Infraorbital Implants: Case Study

Introduction A negative orbital vector is a facial aesthetic descriptor referring to the relationship between the globe (eyeball) and the infraorbital rim/midface projection. A negative orbital vector occurs when the globe projects further forward than the infraorbital rim and malar (cheek) bones. In practical terms: ?? The eyes sit farther forward than the supporting bone Read More…
