Background: While the most common non-synostotic congenital skull deformity is plagiocephaly, less commonly seen is its ‘cousin’ brachycephaly. As opposed to a unilateral flattening on the back of the head in plagiocephaly, brachycephaly is when the entire back of the head is flat. While it can have synostotic origins like some forms of plagiocephaly most Read More…
Background: The clavicle provides the structural bar of support for the shoulder to keep it at a good distance from the sternum. As a result it allows the arm to have a good range of motion along with a variety of other musculotendinous attachments. When it comes to shoulder narrowing surgery shortening of the length Read More…
The custom jawline implant is the most powerful implant enhancement for the lower face. Often called a wraparound jaw implant its effectiveness is based on augmenting the entire inferolateral border of the lower jaw in a 3D fashion, a feat that can not be accomplished by any other surgical technique. This is best appreciated when Read More…
Background: While bony bumps can appear on the skull at any location for a variety of reasons, the most classic and consistent skull bump is the occipital knob. This discrete bump of bone occurs at the base of the skull at the back of the head in the midline. It is consistent in its location Read More…
Background: The functional role of the clavicles is to provide support to the shoulders. It is an elongated s-shaped bone that sits at the top of the ribcage and provides a rigid but mobile strut between the sternum and the shoulder. This mobility is due to two joints, one on each end of the bone. Read More…

The one frequently overlooked chin deficiency is in the vertical dimension. The chin may have adequate forward projection and be in ideal position to the lips but can Read More…
Background: When one thinks of improving the shape of the lower jaw it is important to consider what exact dimensional changes are needed at its corners to achieve the desired effect. What are the 3D changes that are needed at the chin and jaw angles? Once this is known then the correct surgery can be Read More…
Background: There are numerous surgical methods to aesthetic augmentation of the lower jaw which are typically performed by either all implants or a near complete bony movement. (chin wing osteotomy) One mixture of these two methods is a sliding genioplasty and standard jaw angle implants. The most comtemporary approach to this jaw augmentation version is Read More…
Background: The chin is a unique facial structure being a solitary projection that is enveloped by a tight soft tissue chin pad. The chin pad is composed of periosteum, muscle, fat and skin that is adherent around the bone. Like all structural manipulations anywhere on the face how the soft tissue drapes over it does Read More…
Background: The shape of the skull is typically perceived as a smooth curved on all sides. And this is relatively accurate with the exception of the front and back of the head. In men the inferior part of the forehead will have some degree of brow bone prominence on the lower due the developmental the Read More…
