Plastic Surgery Case Study – Male Custom Skull Implant for Flat Back of The Head
Background: The shape of the skull has varying degrees of convexity...
Background: The features that make a man’s face distinct are the three bony levels of the brow bones, cheeks and chin/jawline. These are the three lines of facial convexities whose degree varies amongst different individuals. While there are many variables that go into these three facial levels as t how they look and there are Read More…
Augmentation of the brow ridges can be done by a variety of techniques. Injectable fillers is the non-surgical approach and, while it can be effective, their effects will be temporary. Fat injections offer a minimally invasive surgical method but how well the fat survives and whether it will be smooth is unpredictable. While both injectable Read More…
One distinct male feature is the of a prominent brow bone at the lower end of the forehead. It is one of many facial features that distinguishes males from females. It extends over the eyes with a horizontal projection, has a brow bone break before heading up into the forehead and has a slight glabellar Read More…
Brow bone enhancement is often done as part of an overall forehead augmentation procedure/implant for both men and women.

This provides the greatest amount of complete brow bone augmentation with the least amount of incisional length to do Read More…
Background: The forehead is not infrequently exposed to traumatic forces. If significant enough forces are applied bone fractures can occur causing a variety of forehead indentation deformities. These most commonly occur near the brow bone area since this is the ledge of the forehead where the bone is not as thick as up near the Read More…
Background: The best method to aesthetically augment the entire forehead is with a custom implant approach. Being able to select the exact dimensions and shape of the implant beforehand and design it on the patient’s 3D CT scan offers a huge aesthetic advantage over creating the augmentation by hand intraoperatively with bone cements. While there Read More…
The shape and appearance of the forehead is highly influenced by the appearance of the brow bones. While usually taken for granted when they are normal, the brow bones or supraorbital rims serve as the roof/overhang of the eye. A strong or weak bony overhang influences the appearance of the eye as well as that Read More…
Brow bone augmentation can be done using a variety of techniques and materials. The most common approach has been an open scalp or hairline incision using bone cements to do the buildup of the brow bones. While effective it does necessitate a long incision that is fairly distant from the implantation site and the final Read More…
