Chin Feminization Reversal: Surgical Options and Case Study

Introduction Reversal of a feminized chin is one of the more predictable and achievable components of facial feminization reversal surgery. What Feminizing Chin Surgery Typically Does Feminizing chin surgery commonly involves one or more of the following changes: Narrowing of chin width Reduction of chin height or forward projection Rounding or tapering of the chin Read More…

Custom Jaw Angle Implant Overlays: What They Are & How They’re Used

Introduction Improving the appearance of the jaw angle region after prior implant augmentation is not uncommon and is usually very fixable. The correct solution, however, depends on the specific failure pattern of the original implant. Key questions include: Where is the current implant positioned? and What additional dimensions are needed to achieve an improved jaw Read More…

Male Custom Forehead Implant Case Study

Introduction Forehead implants are a surgical option to permanently reshape or augment the forehead, typically used to improve projection for flat or recessed foreheads. The concept of forehead implants may be partial or complete based on whether a brow bone augmentation effect is desired or not (forehead vs forehead-brow bone implant ) For purposes of Read More…

Negative Orbital Vector & Custom Infraorbital Implants: Case Study

Introduction A negative orbital vector is a facial aesthetic descriptor referring to the relationship between the globe (eyeball) and the infraorbital rim/midface projection. A negative orbital vector occurs when the globe projects further forward than the infraorbital rim and malar (cheek) bones. In practical terms: ?? The eyes sit farther forward than the supporting bone Read More…

The Custom Orbital Frame Implant Case Study

Introduction Orbital frame or  combined brow bone and infraorbital augmentation is a powerful upper-to-midface structural enhancement implant approach. A combined supraorbital (brow bone) and infraorbital rim augmentation addresses deficiencies on both the upper and lower orbital rims. This creates a stronger, more defined orbital frame, balances projection, and corrects negative vector or recessed midface features. Read More…

Custom Jawline Implant After Vertical Lengthening Genioplasty Case Study

Introduction A vertical lengthening bony genioplasty (VLBG) adjusts the chin (symphysis) by moving the lower segment downward to increase lower facial height.A custom jawline implant addresses the entire jawline: chin width, jawline length, ramus width, gonial angles, and overall contour. When performed together: The bone movement fixes the vertical deficiency. The implant restores or enhances Read More…

Custom Cheek and Chin Implant Replacements — Case Study

Introduction Facial implants are solid, biocompatible devices placed beneath the soft tissues and against the facial skeleton to augment or refine key structural areas. Commonly treated regions include: Cheeks (malar/submalar) Chin (mentoplasty) Jaw angles / jawline Unlike injectable fillers, facial implants provide stable, long-term structural change because they maintain their shape permanently once placed. The Read More…

Male Custom Forehead Implant Case Study

Introduction Forehead augmentation can be performed using several techniques, but a custom implant remains the most precise method for achieving controlled shape and projection across the entire upper third of the face. These implants—typically made from medical-grade silicone or PEEK—are digitally designed using a patient’s 3D CT scan. Unlike standard, off-the-shelf implants, each custom design Read More…
