Background: Facial reshaping surgery most commonly involves modifications of the bones albeit augmentative or reductive. Masculinizing the face is typically augmentative in nature while facial feminization focuses mainly on reduction procedures. It is for this reason that facial masculinization almost always involves implants with a few exceptions such as the sliding genioplasty for chin augmentation Read More…

Such increased projections require an implant Read More…
The intricacies of the shape of the lower jaw can not be appreciated looking at plain x-rays like a panorex where it has been most commonly seen in its entirety. It is often perceived as largely being a smooth surface around its perimeter which it certainly is based on plain x-rays. And very many types Read More…

Because of its unique infraorbital and malar composite design a horizontal augmentation is achieved from the inside of the eye out well onto the zygomatic arch. This is effective because many patients with infraorbital deficiencies also have cheek Read More…
