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…

Prominent Temporal Artery Ligations Following Facelift Surgery Case Study

Introduction Prominent temporal arteries are typically an aesthetic concern, and their underlying cause is often unclear. While there are rare medical reasons for their appearance, most cases are benign and cosmetic in nature. These vascular prominences are frequently misdiagnosed as veins; however, their serpiginous course from the temples into the forehead and their pulsatile nature Read More…

Secondary Genioplasty Case Study

Introduction Sliding (bony) genioplasty is a well-established technique for chin augmentation. Its main advantage is that it uses the patient’s own bone, avoiding the need for an implant. However, it has drawbacks: the bone cut can be angled in multiple ways, the resulting chin may take on an unnatural bony shape, and revisions are more Read More…

Clavicle Lengthening for Male Shoulder Enhancement

Introduction Shoulder widening, or augmentative shoulder reshaping, can be achieved through two main approaches. The external or direct approach involves augmenting the shoulder’s soft tissues (deltoid muscles) with either implants or fat injections. The internal or indirect approach increases clavicle bone length, thereby broadening the shoulders. Each method has distinct advantages, and in select cases, Read More…
