Background: The shape of the head in the front view usually has a near half circle shape. While the original sagittal suture line may be the highest point of the skull it should gradually go to the sides (parasagittal region) into the temporal region with a very gradual slope. For women this head shape may Read More…
Temporal augmentation can be done by a variety of techniques from injections to surgery. The typical progression for patients seeking improvement in their temporal hollowing is to first use an injectable approach. A wide variety of synthetic fillers have been used successfully but their effects are not permanent. Fat injections are often done as a Read More…
Background: The chin-jawline is the border that separates the face from the neck. The more pronounced the skeletal lower third of the face is the less the neck is seen. While the entire jawline contributes to the projection of the lower face, the chin makes the greatest contribution since it is a single point projection Read More…
Background: The elongated earlobe, whether by natural development or has occurred by aging, is never viewed as a positive aesthetic ear feature. It is the only part of the ear that has no cartilage and is comprised of soft tissue only. It can be stretched by gravity or being weighed down over time by various Read More…
Background: There are many types of aesthetic skull deformities that can be treated by bone and muscle modifications. When to comes to the side of head from the eye to the back of the head this is the only area of the skull which is covered by muscle. The temporal muscle has its origins along Read More…
Background: Like all facial features the forehead has distinct gender characteristics. The defining topographic features of the male forehead are the distinct inferior brow bones and the slope and width of the forehead. The brow bones can be more precisely identified because of their protrusion and projection above the eyes. Without question the presence of Read More…
Temporal implants offer a permanent method for volume augmentation for a hollowed contour by the side of the eye. Such implants are often sought after either acceptable results from injectable fillers but a permanent result is desired or due to unsatisfactory results from fat injections. The success of temporal implants is based on their subfascial Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetries are very common and it is actually rare that anyone’s face is perfectly symmetric. Most of these facial asymmetries are located in the soft tissues and would be considered minor differences in the external soft tissue landmarks. But some asymmetries are more bone-based and thus affect larger external surface areas as the Read More…
The sliding genioplasty is a well known chin augmentation procedure that cuts and relocates the symphyseal bone. No matter how it is cut or what position to which it is moved it requires a bone fixation method to hold it there to heal. While multiple bone fixation methods for the chin exist the most versatile Read More…
Background: The effect of any chin implant is a function of its shape, size and position on the bone. Either one can be a cause of ‘macrogenia’, the perception that the projection of the chin is excessive. The most frequent treatment for an implant-induced macrogenia is to simply replace it which is what is almost Read More…
