Background: Asymmetry of any paired facial bony structure is not uncommon including the jaw angles. The jaw angles create the width of the lower face in the front view and the slope of the mandibular plane angle in the side view. Because of their bilateral protruding (or lack of protrusion) nature it is fairly easy Read More…
Background: V line surgery has become popular over the past decade for those seeking a slimmer lower face. It has its origins in Asia where fuller and wider lower jaws are more common, particularly in women. It is a procedure that is done by a combination of an oblique line of jaw angle and body Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation exerts its effects by pushing out the overlying soft tissue by augmentation of the bone. When done by an implant it can only push out the soft tissues that are released with its pocket creation and placement. This can change all chin areas with the exception of one….the labiomental fold. (perhaps better Read More…
Background: The shape of the lower face is affected by the posteriorly paired jaw angle bones. The jaw angles are three-dimensional structures which have length, width and a shape influenced by the posterior projection of the intersection of its posterior and inferior borders. While located in the back part of the lower face the symmetry Read More…
Cheek implant augmentation in a male must be considered differently than in a female. There are significant gender differences in the desired midface effect. Females typically desire a more anterior oval-shaped fullness that has been associated with attractive female faces. That is exactly the look that most men don’t want because it has a feminizing Read More…
Background: Like all facial features the forehead has distinct gender characteristics. The defining topographic features of the male forehead are the distinct inferior brow bones and the slope and width of the forehead. The brow bones can be more precisely identified because of their protrusion and projection above the eyes. Without question the presence of Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetries are very common and it is actually rare that anyone’s face is perfectly symmetric. Most of these facial asymmetries are located in the soft tissues and would be considered minor differences in the external soft tissue landmarks. But some asymmetries are more bone-based and thus affect larger external surface areas as the Read More…
Background: Chin implants come in different styles and sizes. But almost all of these styles are intended for pure horizontal augmentation with the exception of one…the vertical lengthening chin implant. This uniquely designed chin implant provides a vertical as well as a horizontal chin augmentation effect. Essentially it creates a 45 degree vector of chin Read More…
The most effective method to treat undereye hollows and flat cheeks associated with a skeletal deficiency (as evidenced by a negative orbital vector) is with custom infraorbital-malar implants. By augmenting the associated and connected skeletal parts around the eye and out onto the cheek produces a smooth augmentation that can look natural because of the Read More…
The chin has long been an aesthetic lower facial focus for men and women for decades. Creating a greater chin prominence can be done with a wide variety of standard chin implant styles and sizes with variations in their use based on an appreciation of male and female chin shape differences. The concept of lower Read More…
