Background: Ons of then most common aesthetic ear procedures is a setback otoplasty to reduce protruding ears. While a wide variety of techniques have been described to do this operation the fundamental concept is that the ear is set back closer to the side of the head by either creating or increasing the antihelical fold Read More…
Background: The sliding genioplasty is one of the most well known of all the facial bone osteotomies. It is a unique lower facial osteotomy because it has no functional impact on jaw movement. The chin is a pure aesthetic aspect of the lower jaw that is not responsible for any biomechanical load transfer. It is Read More…
Background: One of the anatomic features of the forehead, most prominently seen in men, is the supra brow bone break. This is the transition between the prominence of the brow bones and the beginning of the more vertical forehead slope. The more prominent the brow bones the deeper the brow bone break is which is Read More…
Background: One of the primary benefits of custom face and skull implants is that they allow for augmentations possibilities that exist by no other surgical method. The results obtainable exceed anything achievable with bone cements or even bone repositioning. (ff that is even possible for the intended result) While the bone surface coverage is made Read More…
Augmenting the chin with a sliding genioplasty is an autologous approach that has its distinct advantages. But when it comes to picking what the dimensional bony changes should be, particularly in the horizontal direction, it is not an exact science and is fraught with some of the same potential uncertainties as choosing the size of Read More…
Background: Aging affects all body structures and the testicles are no exception. Testicular size does change with aging in the smaller direction. The natural effects of aging on testicle size can be increased by the hormonal influence of testosterone which is a frequent older male supplement. Once testicle size gets small enough the scrotum can Read More…
Background: The shape of the forehead in profile for both men and women has the upper forehead falling behind the projection of the brow bones. Because men have greater brow bone development than women they will have a greater backward slope to the forehead profile. But regardless of whether it is a male or female Read More…
Background: Large chins are more of an aesthetic problem in women than in men as one might expect. As a result, chin reduction is most commonly performed in females. Aside from V-line jaw reduction surgery, which is its own aesthetic entity and does involve some degrees of reductive chin reshaping, female macrogenia reductions are isolated Read More…
Background: The back of the head has the greatest diversity of shape abnormalities, most commonly flat areas. The two most common types are asymmetric flattening due to plagiocephaly and bilateral flattening due to external deformational forces. There does not appear to be too much difference between them in occurrence based on patients that have presented Read More…
Background: There are distinct well known shape differences between the female and male forehead. While it is a broad near featureless facial area it still has gender specific characteristics. Compared to the male forehead the female forehead has a more vertical slope to it (partially because it lacks any significant brow bone prominences) and has Read More…
