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.

One component of the forehead is the prominence of the supraorbital rims, also known as the brow bones. How prominent they are affects the shape of the forehead and the appearance of the eyes.

The facial aging process is one that is well known as everyone will eventually see it on their face. The eyes get heavy, the brows descend, the cheek fall, jowls develop and the neck sags. Women become concerned earlier in the aging process and proceed to do procedures to treat or slow it down in Read More…
One of the reasons that fat grafting has become so popular in plastic surgery is its versatility. Because of small cannula delivery techniques, fat grafts can literally be placed just about anywhere in any amounts. This has led to fat grafting becoming a near universal method for soft tissue augmentation and, more selectively, bony augmentation. Read More…
Fat grafting to the face, done by injection, has become incredibly popular in the past decade. The recognition that most faces lose fat volume as they age has led to fat grafting done alone or in conjunction with other facial lifting procedures. One such area of volume addition in the aging face is that of Read More…
