My clinical experience confirms this is accurate and careful examination has shown how frequent clavicle length asymmetries are. The longer clavicle length can be Read More…
Background: Chin implants are a common facial augmentation procedure which can be very effective in the properly selected patient.

They work best for modest to moderate chin deficiencies that are largely horizontal in dimension (inadequate projection) with no significant asymmetries in the chin or jawline bone. Where patients and surgeons get into aesthetic difficulties is when Read More…

The lower half of the visible back of the head is the location of the upper half of the occipital bone.
