The Use of Custom Solid Silicone Implants For Aesthetic Skull Augmentations

For aesthetic skull augmentation, custom solid silicone implants are generally the preferred material because they best satisfy the requirements of cosmetic cranial contouring: precise shape, smooth contours, long-term stability, and the ability to be safely revised if necessary. While materials such as PEEK, porous polyethylene (Medpor), PMMA, and titanium all have specific reconstructive indications, they Read More…

Small Custom Implants for Minor Skull Contouring Case Example

Small custom skull implants are a niche application of cranial augmentation used to correct localized contour irregularities rather than significantly enlarge the skull. They are ideal for patients who have subtle asymmetries, depressions, or flat spots that are noticeable in certain lighting or with short hair but do not require a large implant. Common indications Read More…

Standard Implants for Female Temporal Hollowing Case Example

Temporal implants are an effective option for women or men with moderate to severe temporal hollowing, particularly when the deficiency is due to age-related fat loss or muscle atrophy. Compared with fat grafting, implants provide a permanent, precisely controlled restoration of the temporal contour. Ideal candidates Patients who have: Congenital temporal hollowing Hollowing after significant Read More…

Submental Soft Tissue Chin Pad Excision Case Example

A submental soft tissue chin pad excision is a direct surgical procedure designed to reduce the bulk of the soft tissue over the bony chin (chin pad). It is most useful in patients whose chin appears overly full despite having a normal chin bone projection. The excess is usually a combination of fibrofatty tissue, subcutaneous Read More…

Correction of Clavicle Asymmetry in Shoulder Narrowing Surgery

Correction of pre-existing clavicle asymmetry is an important consideration when performing cosmetic shoulder narrowing surgery. In fact, many patients seeking shoulder reduction already have subtle differences in clavicle length, slope, rotation, or position that become more noticeable once the shoulders are narrowed. Can Clavicle Asymmetry Be Corrected? Yes. Because shoulder narrowing surgery involves shortening the Read More…

Fat Grafting vs Custom Infraorbital Implants for Undereye Hollows

Fat grafting and custom infraorbital implants are both used to improve the under-eye region, but they solve different problems. The choice depends on whether the deficiency is primarily soft tissue, bone, or a combination of both. Fat Grafting Fat grafting adds living tissue beneath the skin. Advantages Uses your own tissue. Soft, natural feel. Excellent Read More…

The Role of Custom Jawline Implants in V Line Surgery Reversal

V line surgery is a very popular methof of reductive facial reshaping achievwed through mandibular bone removal. But like all forms of facial reshaping (augmentation or reduction) patients may later regret their decision and wish to partially or fully reverse it. Custom jawline implants are the only effective method to reliably and permanently reverse the Read More…

Five Site Temporal Artery Ligations Case Example

Superficial temporal artery prominence is well known to occur and for some affected fond it to be an aesthetic concern. The definitive treatment is to reduce/eliminate the flow through the visible part of the artery by a ligation technique. Due to the extensive connections or anastomoses of the artery, as is common for many head Read More…

Features of a Custom Jawline Implant For Facial Masculinization

The biggest difference between an average male jaw and the kind of jawline seen on fashion models or actors is usually a combination of bone structure, body fat, muscle, and lighting, not one single feature. Here’s what people typically associate with an “ideal” male jawline: 1. Strong mandibular angle The angle where the jaw meets Read More…
