Custom Skull Dent Implant Case Study

Background Congenital skull indentations are distinct depressions in the skull present at birth. They are most commonly partial-thickness defects rather than full-thickness bone deformities. The most likely cause is prolonged intrauterine pressure from structures such as the maternal sacral promontory, rib cage, or even the fetus’s own foot or hand. Although birth trauma (e.g., forceps Read More…

Long Term Otoplasty Reversal Graft Removal

To restore helical rim visibility in the mid-ear, a release must be performed in this region. If done very soon after surgery—when the cartilage still retains its original memory—the ear may spring back close to its preoperative shape. However, after 4–6 weeks, that cartilage memory is lost, and a release alone is insufficient. In such Read More…

Facial Artery Aneurysm Surgery Results: A Case Report

Introduction Injectable fillers are widely used for facial rejuvenation and contouring, with hundreds of millions of procedures performed worldwide. Complications are uncommon but can be significant. The most serious is intravascular injection causing embolization and tissue necrosis, particularly in the central face where the facial artery is at risk. Less frequently reported is direct arterial Read More…

Congenitally Long Earlobe Shortening with Facelift Case Study

Background A vertically long or enlarged ear (macrotia) can result from several causes. Different regions of the ear may contribute to the enlargement—ranging from the middle concha and superior third crus cartilages to the lower third earlobe. To achieve an effective ear reduction, it is essential to identify the exact source of the enlargement so Read More…

The I Pattern Direct Necklift Excision for Large Neck Wattles Case Study

Background Neck sagging is an inevitable result of aging. The extent varies among individuals and is influenced by factors such as youthful neck shape and body weight. Strong jawlines with thinner tissues and healthy body weight tend to age with less noticeable neck changes, whereas those with less defined jawlines, thicker tissues, and higher body Read More…

Standard vs Custom Facial Masculinization Implants Case Study

Background Facial masculinization surgery is most commonly performed at three skeletal levels: Lower jawline Midface (cheeks) Upper brow bones While other areas may be addressed, these regions are the most frequently augmented for masculinizing effects. Each shares a natural convexity, and surgery aims to enhance this by adding projection to otherwise flat or underdeveloped contours. Read More…

Custom Vertical Orbital Dystopia Implant

Eye asymmetry can result from differences in the shape of the bony socket in which the eyeball resides. The eye sits within a cone-shaped cylinder of bone that is widest in the front—where the cornea, iris, and sclera are visible—and narrows at the back to a small opening for the optic nerve to pass into Read More…

Abdominal Etching in an Older Male Patient Case Study

Background One of the core principles of liposuction, unchanged since its introduction in the U.S. in 1981, is to avoid skin irregularities by achieving as even a fat reduction as possible. Abdominal etching, however, is an exception. Instead of uniformly removing fat, targeted linear reductions are performed to mimic the natural horizontal inscriptions of the Read More…

Gel Buttock Implants Case Study

Background Buttock implants remain the only option for augmentation when fat stores are insufficient or depleted. Solid silicone implants reliably provide volume, but they will never feel as soft as a patient’s own fat or muscle. Advances in lower-durometer silicone over recent decades have improved implant softness, but there is a natural limit. Unlike other Read More…
