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…
Background: Lower jaw asymmetries are not uncommon and affect each side equally. They are often part of a more complete facial asymmetry that continues up the face to the forehead. In this type of facial asymmetry the lower jaw is the most visible part of the deformity and is the focus of any corrective efforts. Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation is the original aesthetic facial augmentation procedure. In its infancy many different materials were used from cow bone to irradiated cartilage. The development of the silicone chin implant surpassed the use of other materials because of its performed shape and ease of insertion. As would be expected, looking at early chin implant Read More…
Background: The traditional approach to total jawline augmentation is with the use of standard chin and jaw angle implants. Most commonly a chin implant is done first and then the patient ‘graduates’ to jaw angle implants later with the realization that what lies behind the chin implant now looks deficient as well. In less common Read More…
Background: While standard chin and jaw angle implants have their role to play in lower facial augmentation, there is no comparison to what a total jawline implant can do. As the name implies, it differs because it creates a line of augmentation along the entire border surface area of the lower jaw. In effect think Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation using an implant is the most common form of facial augmentation. It has been around for over a half century and is generally thought of a straightforward procedure with a high success rate. And this is true when it is applied for modest chin deficiencies that are associated with no significant lower Read More…
