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…

Thigh Implants for Congenital Asymmetry Case Study

Thigh implants are solid, medical-grade silicone implants designed to enhance the contour and muscular appearance of the thighs. They can add fullness to various quadriceps muscles including:: Rectus Femoris Vastus Lateralis Vastus Medialis Unlike fat transfer, implants create predictable and stable volume, especially for patients who are lean or who have difficulty gaining/thickening certain thigh Read More…

Testicle Implant Replacement Case Study

Introduction A silicone testicle implant is a soft, solid, medical-grade silicone prosthesis placed inside the scrotum to replace a missing testicle or to enhance testicular volume. They are commonly used for: Cosmetic testicular enlargement Post-orchiectomy replacement (cancer, torsion, trauma, undescended testicle) Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) Correction of congenital asymmetry or atrophy These implants are solid, not Read More…

Custom Testicle Implants – An Overview

What Are Custom Testicle Implants? Custom testicular implants are individually designed silicone implants created when standard, off-the-shelf testicle prostheses don’t achieve the desired shape, size, or fit. They are most commonly used for: Congenital absence of one or both testicles Testicular removal after cancer or trauma Gender-affirming surgery Revision of unsatisfactory results from standard implants Read More…

Rib Removal vs Rib Xcar for Waist Narrowing Case Study

Introduction Waistline narrowing can be accomplished by a variety of well known soft tissue procedures. Liposuction and tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) are the two main surgical procedures used with emphasis on wide fascial plication techniques to maximize the waistline narrowing effect. Rib modification, or structural waistline narrowing, is a more recent type of procedure that is Read More…

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…
