The Aesthetics of Occipital Augmentation – Profile Curve Shape

This is where skull augmentation stops being about adding volume and becomes about sculpting geometry. An ideal occiput isn’t “round everywhere” — it has a very specific curve architecture. The ideal occipital curvature (in profile) Think of the back of the head as a long, continuous S-curve, not a single arc. 1. Upper occiput: gentle Read More…

The Aesthetics of Occipital Augmentation – How Much Projection IS Enough

Occipital skull augmentation increases the projection of the flat back of the head. But how does projection translates visually in profile? This is the key concept most people don’t get until they see simulations…the eye reads curves, not millimeters. Let’s break down how occipital projection actually shows up in profile. The Profile Reference Line In Read More…

Custom Back of The Head Skull Implant for Adult Male Brachycephaly

A complete flat back of the head (often called occipital flatness or brachycephaly) can be augmented surgically if someone wants a more rounded, balanced skull shape. This is a real and fairly specialized area of craniofacial / aesthetic skull surgery. What is skull (occipital) augmentation? It’s a cosmetic procedure that adds projection and roundness to Read More…

Custom Midface Mask Implant Replacements for Standard Cheek Implants Case Study

Why replace standard cheek implants with a custom midface implant? Standard cheek implants (malar, submalar, or combined) are one-size designs. They work fine for isolated cheek augmentation, but they often fall short when: There is midface deficiency (infraorbital rim, paranasal, maxillary support) The implant looks “stuck on” rather than skeletal There’s aging-related midface collapse The Read More…

The Postauricular Incision in Aesthetic Temporal Reduction Surgery

The temporal reduction surgical technique (often called temporal narrowing or temporal contour reduction) is a skull contouring procedure aimed at reducing excess width or fullness in the temporal region (the sides of the head above the ear). It is most done in males who want a more vertically shaped side of the head  and may Read More…

The Intramuscular Buttock Implant Augmentation – Indications and Technique

Implants offer a permanent method of buttock augmentation when fat grafting has proven inadequate or there is not enough fat to harvest. There are different pockets locations  for the  implants in relation to the gluteus maximus muscle. The intramuscular technique is the most commonly used today as its has much lower complication rates than traditional Read More…

Postoperative Clavicle Plate Show in Aesthetic Shoulder-Narrowing Surgery

In aesthetic shoulder narrowing, the goal is to reduce bi-acromial width by shortening the length of the clavicle(s). This is achieved via: midshaft clavicle osteotomy Segmental bone resection Closure of the bone gap by pilling the outer bone segmented inward with internal fixation with low-profile plates The plate(s) are essential to: Maintain clavicular alignment after Read More…

Custom Hip Implants – Current State of the Art

Aesthetic hip implants are silicone implants placed over the outer pelvis/hip region to increase hip width, roundness, and curve, enhancing the waist-to-hip ratio.They are most often used to: Correct hip dips Create a more hourglass silhouette Complement previous BBL results when fat alone isn’t enough Done with rib removal waist reshaping surgery for a more Read More…

Custom Midface Implants vs Standard Cheek Implants – Comparison Case Study

Cheek implants are a well known permanent facial augmentation method that was originally developed for true  skeletal deficiencies. Such congenital or developmental deficiencies include: Flat or under-projected cheekbones Poor midface projection despite normal weight Long faces Class II skeletal patterns Patients with weak zygomatic prominence Sunken mid faces Cheek volume loss Cheekbone asymmetries Implants restore Read More…
