Rhinoplasty is a collection of a variety of tissue manipulations to reshape the nose. Almost invariably to undertake these manipulations portions of the nose must be dismantled and then put back together again, either being reduced, augmented or simply reshaped.. This is no better illustrated the when it comes to dorsal reduction, one of the Read More…
The most successful method for cheek augmentation in most males is augmentation along the infraorbital-zygomatic arch line using an infraorbital-malar (IOM) implant. Since this creates a line of horizontal bone enhancement across the cheek area, it successfully creates the often sought after high cheekbone look. This is in contrast to what a standard oval cheek Read More…
Background: The brow bones are seen as the protrusions above the eyes that many assume are made up of solid bone. But that is only true for the outer calfs or tail of the brow bones. Half of the brow bones, the inner half on each side, is composed mainly of air because their shape Read More…
Background: While the majority of chin augmentation patients obtain satisfactory results, some do not. Chin implant results can be aesthetically compromised by miscalculations in implant style and size as well as implant placement on the bone. Between these three implant choices there are lots of opportunities for a chin augmentation result to turn out differently Read More…
Background: One of the features of the male forehead is that it has a more backward slope than that of a female. How much of a backward slope that is acceptable is a matter of personal preference. But the location of the frontal hairline can influence the appearance of the forehead slope in profile. The Read More…
Augmentation by an oblique sliding genioplasty is a highly successful procedure as it stretches out the overlying soft tissue chin pad. However when trying to do the same in reverse, or in any form of intraoral bony genioplasty where bony support is lessened (shaving, t-shaped genioplasty, reverse oblique osteotomy) the risk of soft tissue problems Read More…
One of the common questions I get in regards to custom infraorbital-malar (IOM) implants is can they be placed through an intraoral approach. This question is asked because most of the time I do place them through a lower eyelid incision. Having placed them earlier in my clinical experience through the intraoral route I can Read More…
Background: The skull is prone to deformational forces during its development which can adversely affect its shape. While these effects can occur anywhere on the five surfaces of the skull they are most commonly seen on the back of the head. This is probably due to the neonate’s head’s position in utero and most certainly Read More…
Injectable fillers of various types are widely used today to create enhanced facial volumes. They can specifically be used to enhance the facial skeletal features of the brow bones, nose, cheek, chin and jawline. While such facial bone augmentation results are highly dependent on the type of filler used, the volume placed and the skill Read More…
In skull reshaping surgery one of the important fundamental procedures is skull reduction. Removing portions of prominent or excessive heights of the skull in various areas is commonly done. The key to skull reduction is never whether it can be done but rather can enough bone be removed to achieve a satisfactory result. This will Read More…
