Testicular Implant Replacement: Case Study

Introduction Two main types of testicular implants are currently available for replacing lost or removed testicles: Saline-filled implants — silicone-shell devices filled with sterile salt water. Solid silicone implants — also known as “ultrasoft” or “gummy bear–type” implants, made entirely of solid silicone and not fluid-filled. The term silicone in this context refers to the Read More…

Indications for Custom Paranasal Implants Case Study

Introduction Paranasal implants are a well-established method of facial enhancement designed to augment the midface region—specifically the area around the sides of the nose (the paranasal or pyriform aperture region). This portion of the midface may appear flat or deficient due to individual skeletal development, aging, or an aesthetic desire for greater central midface projection. Read More…

Facial Artery Resection for Chronic Pain: Case Study

Introduction The facial artery, a branch of the external carotid artery, supplies blood to the lower face, lips, cheeks, and nose. Its key branches include the labial arteries (to the upper and lower lips) and the angular artery (to the side of the nose and the periorbital region). Anatomically, the artery runs deep to the Read More…

Uncommon Testicular Enhancement Case Study

Introduction Testicular enhancement surgery aims to increase the visible size of the testicles within the scrotum using implants. The goal is to create the appearance of a single pair of enlarged testicles—those being the implants themselves. This is best achieved using a displacement technique, in which the implants are large enough to camouflage or displace Read More…

Testicular Enhancement by Hollow Chamber Custom Testicle Implants Case Study

Introduction Testicular enhancement aims to increase the visible size of the testicles within the scrotum. This is most effectively achieved using an implant shaped like a natural testicle. Such implants can be used in two main ways: Wrap-around augmentation, in which the implant envelops the natural testicle to enlarge its apparent size. Side-by-side (displacement) placement, Read More…

Transcutaneous Approach to Jaw Angle Implant Asymmetry Correction Case Study

Introduction Jaw angle implant asymmetry, whether resulting from standard implants or a custom jawline implant, is not uncommon. Several factors contribute to this, including limited visibility through the intraoral incision used for placement, incomplete elevation of the masseteric muscle, or unrecognized differences in bony jaw angle morphology. Once full healing has occurred (typically three months Read More…

Female Frontal-Temporal Bossing Reduction – Case Study

Introduction Frontal bossing refers to a forehead shape in which the upper forehead protrudes farther forward than the lower brow area. This should be distinguished from the opposite condition, where the brow bones project more prominently than the upper forehead. Although both forms of forehead protrusion can occur in either gender, frontal bossing is more Read More…

Two-Stage Aesthetic Jaw Augmentation: A Case Study

Introduction Chin augmentation is the original and most common form of jaw augmentation surgery. For many patients, it may represent their only effort at lower facial enhancement. Although the chin comprises only about one-third of the total jaw surface area, its prominence makes it the most visually important component of the lower face. Consequently, many Read More…

Deltoid Muscle Atrophy and Shoulder Restoration Using Custom Implants Case Study

Introduction The shoulder’s outer contour is primarily defined by the deltoid muscles, which give it its characteristic rounded appearance. Anatomically, the deltoid forms a broad, triangular structure arising from the clavicle and scapula and inserting onto the humerus. It consists of three distinct muscle bellies—anterior (clavicular), lateral (acromial), and posterior (spinal)—that collectively produce the shoulder’s Read More…

Custom Skull Implant Augmentation and the Overlay Technique

Custom skull implants are the definitive method for aesthetic skull augmentation. Designed from a patient’s 3D CT scan, the preoperative planning process creates an implant footprint with varying thicknesses to achieve the desired contour. One of the key principles in implant design is understanding the scalp’s capacity to safely accommodate the added volume. This tolerance Read More…
