Background: Jaw angle implants pose very difficult challenges than chin implants in both size and style selection as well as surgical placement. The most obvious difference is that a chin implant is a single procedure while jaw angle implants are two procedures due to their bilateral locations. Positioning a single implant over a solitary projecting Read More…
Background: The forehead occupies a full third of the upper face and as such has a major role to play in facial aesthetics. Despite its broad surface area coverage it does not have many distinct features that creates its look. Other than the leading edge of the frontal hairline superiorly and the eyebrows inferiorly it Read More…
In jaw angle and custom jawline implants the most challenging part of the surgery is to get the implants properly positioned over the bone. Between the limited visual access of the intraoral incisional approach and the ligamentous attachments of the masseter muscles it is not as easy as it may seem to get implant positioning Read More…
The custom midface mask implant is an under appreciated form of aesthetic facial augmentation but one that has a very significant effect. It is based on the custom implant principle of total bone coverage of an aesthetic third of the face. For example the custom jawline implant covers or wraps around the entire lower third Read More…
Background: Brow bone augmentation is most commonly requested by men for understandable reasons. A stronger more projecting brow bone in the upper third of the face creates an enhanced masculine appearance. Conversely in females a softer brow bone appearance is desired with lack of any visible brow bone prominences particularly in the inner half of Read More…
Background: Cheek implants, while having been used clinically for a long time, pose challenges in both determining their aesthetic effects as well as their surgical placement. While seemingly simple in both regards cheek augmentation lessons are often learned from the initial placement of standard implants. In such situations the standard cheek implant serves as a Read More…
Background: The upper third of the face is seemingly a rather featureless region that would not appear to be complex for augmentation. But the reality is that it is one of the hardest facial areas aesthetically to do so given its large surface area and important anatomic areas. There are numerous important upper facial landmarks Read More…
Background: One of the primary benefits of custom face and skull implants is that they allow for augmentations possibilities that exist by no other surgical method. The results obtainable exceed anything achievable with bone cements or even bone repositioning. (ff that is even possible for the intended result) While the bone surface coverage is made Read More…
Background: There are distinct well known shape differences between the female and male forehead. While it is a broad near featureless facial area it still has gender specific characteristics. Compared to the male forehead the female forehead has a more vertical slope to it (partially because it lacks any significant brow bone prominences) and has Read More…
Background: The submental (under the chin) incision for placement of chin and custom jawline implants are a standard approach. This inferior approach offers a safer approach to avoiding injury to the mental nerve with implant placement as well as lessens the risk of infection compared to intraoral incisions. The tradeoff is that of a a Read More…
