Augmentation of the upper third of the face has been less commonly done than the lower two-thirds of the face. Besides it being less frequently requested there is historically no standard implants to do so. The lack of available standard implants is a testament to the low frequency of demand for this area of facial Read More…
Custom brow bone implants are the only permanent and aesthetically effective method for this specific type of aesthetic augmentation of the lower forehead which is most commonly done in men. The implant is placed using an endoscopic technique that in many ways is similar to an endoscopic brow lift, at least in terms of the Read More…
In the lower two-thirds of the face there are numerous standard implants for aesthetic augmentation. In the upper third of the face, however, no such options exist.

As a result brow bone augmentation is done by a wide variety of materials from injectable fillers to Read More…
The brow bone area of the forehead is a frequent target for aesthetic change. Brow bone reduction is most commonly known undoubtably due to its higher profile association with facial feminization surgery. But brow bone reduction is also done for males with extremely strong brow bone prominences as well as for asymmetric brow bones due Read More…
Brow bone augmentation is one of the least performed facial augmentation procedures as evidenced by the lack of any preformed implant to do it. This does not mean, however, that male patients don’t have brow bone deficiency concerns and a desire to address it. One uncommon indication for brow bone augmentation is asymmetry where one Read More…
Background: The one primary feature that separates the male forehead from that of the female is the presence of visible brow bone mounds/protrusions. Males have these inferior forehead prominences and the suprabrow break above them that creates this uniquely male forehead shape. Occasionally some females will be seen with brow bone prominences but they are Read More…
