Jawline augmentation is traditionally associated with a male facial reshaping procedure. While this may have been historically true that is no longer so.

Custom designed implants have provided completely new types of facial augmentation effects not thought previously possible. This is particularly true in the cheek area where various oval-shaped implant styles are available as standard options. These create malar-submalar fullness over the anterolateral aspect of the cheekbone often called an ‘apple cheek’ effect. But such an aesthetic Read More…

This works well for most patients but must be approached more cautiously when significant dimensional changes of the chin are desired. Because the enveloping soft tissues of the chin are tightly adherent over a solitary projection bony ‘point’, there are limits Read More…
Forehead augmentation in the male is distinctly different than that for females.The key differences are that men often need a concurrent brow bone augmentation and their foreheads are distinctly wider and less round than women. Women often want a more vertical forehead while men need to have a slight backward slope to it near the Read More…
Custom jawline implants provide the most effective method of augmentation of the lower third of the face. Their complete surface area coverage of the infer lateral jawline assured the significant shape and volumetric enhancement in a connected fashion. Of patients who present for such jawline augmentation about 40% have prior implants in place. Whether it Read More…
Traditionally augmentation of the midface was perceived as that of cheek implants. Or it could have meant premaxillary/paranasal or tear trough implant augmentation. These associations are made because these facial implants are what is available as standard or off-the-shelf midface style implants. As a result surgeons have been forced to mix and match these standard Read More…
