Background: While chin augmentation is commonly performed and numerous implants styles and sizes exist to perform it, the patient’s gender should have an influence in the process.

Background: Custom skull implants have proven to be a reliable method of treating a wide variety of head shape issues. In their preoperative design considerable thought goes into how to best achieve the patient’s desired outcome.

Such grafts are placed by conventional suture fixation or even as onlays in a crushed shape. Greater amounts of nasal augmentation, however, require rib cartilage Read More…

It presents well after birth in children, teens or young adults with the onset of progressive atrophy of facial tissues.
