The clavicle reduction osteotomies used in aesthetic shoulder narrowing surgery is conceptually straightforward. Remove a specific length of bone, pull the remaining two ends of the bone back together and put a plate and screws to hold it together so it heals. This would be fairly easy if one is working on a skeletal model Read More…
The intricacies of the shape of the lower jaw can not be appreciated looking at plain x-rays like a panorex where it has been most commonly seen in its entirety. It is often perceived as largely being a smooth surface around its perimeter which it certainly is based on plain x-rays. And very many types Read More…
Background: The clavicle is the only horizontally oriented bone in the body whose primary function is to keep the shoulder at a distance from the sternum and ribcage. But do doing the arm can have an adequate range of motion. It is a load-bearing bone in which its size (defined as its diameter) will be Read More…
Background: In female chin augmentation, whether it is done by implant or a bony advancement, consideration must be given to avoiding an aesthetic over correction. The traditional cephalometric measurements that indicate the ideal position of the chin does not really apply to most women. What matters aesthetically is not what the bone or soft tissue Read More…
Background: The custom infraorbital-malar implant is the most commonly used custom facial implant design in the midface.

While it affects the entire skull shape, including all five of its surfaces, its greatest impact is on the back of the head. A profound unilateral flattening Read More…
Background: Osteomas are benign bony growths that develop on the outer surface of a bone. (outgrowth of the outer cortical layer) While they can occur anywhere on the body they are very common on the skull with the forehead being a frequent location. Their cause is always clear and many occur for no obvious reason. Read More…
Background: The hips, while occupying the side of the upper outer leg, have diverse areas of potential augmentation. Traditional hip augmentation typically refers to the soft tissue area below the iliac crest and extending down to or even beyond the greater trochanter of the femur. A variety of implants have been developed for this hip Read More…
Background: The nose has a wide variety of shapes due to its complex composition of cartilage and bony structures. The tip of the nose represents the best example of that being formed by the intersection of five different cartilages including the septum, the lower alar cartilages and the upper alar cartilages. As a result how Read More…
