Background: Undereye hollows are a not uncommon aesthetic midface concern.They are seen in two basic types of patients. In the older patients undereye hollows occur from aging with loss of fat from underneath the lower eyelid and inferior orbital compartments. It may also be caused from a prior lower blepharoplasty where excessive fat has been Read More…
Custom designed implants are the most powerful method of aesthetic augmentation of various facial features. There are many obvious benefits to a custom designed facial implants. But one of the presumed benefits, although not an accurate one, is that one engineer a specific look or type of facial change. While specific shapes and thickness can Read More…
Background: Improving the shape of the jaw is one of the most challenging of all facial augmentations. It is.a complex bone by facial standards and is also the largest surface area in the face to augment. In addition the type of dimensional changes needed in the chin are different from what is needed in the Read More…
Background: The chin is a three-dimensional structure whose length, width and projection must be considered in any augmentation procedure. While an implant works fine for modest dimensional changes of the chin it does not work well for larger changes. This is particularly true when significant vertical lengthening is needed as this where the role of Read More…
The custom jawline implant is one of the most effective of all facial implants. By augmenting the entire inferolateral border of the lower jaw the entire shape of the lower face is changed and enhanced. Getting such a large implant into place, however, presents its own challenges. Not the least of which is getting it Read More…

Background: There are numerous methods of performing aesthetic jaw augmentation. While some interpret jaw enhancement as chin augmentation that is an antiquated concept. While in the past the only known method of ‘jaw augmentation’ was a chin implant or a sliding genioplasty, jaw augmentation today means either isolated jaw angle implants, a chin procedure with Read More…
Custom infraorbital implants provide superior augmentation of the lower orbital-upper midface skeletal due to its 3D design. Augmentation of many infraorbital rim deficiencies often requires a combined vertical and horizontal augmentation which standard infraorbital implants can not do. In addition they can provide coverage for the lateral orbital rim or malar areas as well for Read More…
Background: The sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SRRO) of the mandible is the most common form of lower jaw reshaping/repositioning. While a very effective procedure its aesthetic benefits are sagittal in dimension only. It can bring the lower jaw and chin forward to improve lower facial projection but it can widen the chin or jawline and Read More…
