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…
Background: While the brow bone is often perceived as a uniform raised bar of bone above the eyes, its topographic anatomy is more complex. The medial brow bone is made up of the expanded underlying frontal sinuses with a midline dip between them due to the septum which separates the paired sinus cavities. The outer Read More…
Background: There are several key differences between the male and female upper third of the face. The male forehead has prominent brow bones on its lower edge which are a combination of medial frontal sinus expansion mounds and lateral frontal bone ridges which extend into the lateral orbital rim. The suprabrow forehead has a minimally Read More…
Background: Like all facial features the forehead has distinct gender characteristics. The defining topographic features of the male forehead are the distinct inferior brow bones and the slope and width of the forehead. The brow bones can be more precisely identified because of their protrusion and projection above the eyes. Without question the presence of Read More…
Background: The male forehead is well known to have several distinct topographic features that make it gender identifiable. The presence of brow bones is the most prominent of them and is created by the larger underlying frontal sinuses which create the raised angulated mounds next to the central glabella above the frontonasal junction. There also Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the forehead can be done like any other facial bone. (technically the forehead is actually part of the skull) What is unique about forehead augmentation, particularly in the male patient, is the consideration of the brow bones which have a different shape and thickness. This consideration is also relevant for women but Read More…
Aesthetic upper eyelid surgery is primarily associated with the blepharoplasty procedure due to it being commonly performed. Whether for the removal of excessive upper eyelid tissues, the correction of a low hanging eyelid (ptosis repair) or the creation of a double eyelid, the supratarsal crease line is largely used for direct surgical access to perform Read More…
Brow Bone Augmentation Brow bone prominences with a suprabrow bone break are the hallmark of a masculine upper third of the face. Men always have some semblance of brow bone prominences while the vast majority of women do not. In the past, the typical surgical approach has been the application of bone cements or a Read More…
