Upper third of the face augmentation is most successfully done in women by the design and fabrication of a custom forehead implant. Given that most women seek forehead augmentation to create an improved convexity and verticality, often with little to no lower brow bone enhancement, it is important to assess preoperative brow position. Some women 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…
Changing the shape of the brows can be done by a variety of techniques and is often done as part of other facial surgeries, in particular eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery.

The most common type of browlift used today is the endoscopic technique primarily because of the limited incisions used. It’s effectiveness is based on two basic principles, adequate brow tissue release and a method for fixation Read More…
Background: There are numerous dimensional considerations in forehead surgery. The contour of the forehead is controlled by the shape of the underlying bone centrally and the temporal muscles laterally which can be modified by either augmentation or reduction. The vertical length of the forehead, however, is controlled by the soft tissue landmarks of the frontal Read More…

It is boarded superiorly by the frontal hairline, to Read More…
