Background: Chin implants are a common facial augmentation technique which has a high degree of patient satisfaction. A wide range of implant styles and sizes of various materials are available which do well for the vast majority of chin augmentation needs. But it is important to be aware that these implants work best when the Read More…
Background: The male forehead is well known to have several distinct topographic features that make it gender identifiable. The presence of brow bones is the most prominent of them and is created by the larger underlying frontal sinuses which create the raised angulated mounds next to the central glabella above the frontonasal junction. There also Read More…
Background: The appearance of the head can have multiple types of undesired aesthetic shapes. One of these unaesthetic types is that of the narrow head. This occurs when the head has a decreased bitemporal width as seen by a narrow or more pinched forehead that carries back along the side of head all the way Read More…
Background: V line surgery is a now well known lower jaw reshaping procedure to help slim the lower face. In its original and still most commonly used technique, a vertical amputation (oblique ostectomy) of the lower jaw is done from the jaw angles forward to the anterior body of the mandible.

Cheek implants have been around for a long time and a variety of styes and sizes exist. Their use has historically been for females of which the same still exists today. But Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetry affects the face in seemingly variable and unpredictable ways. But in reality most facial asymmetries are relatively complete (affects the entire side of the face) if one looks closely enough and follows one of two patterns. (lower/inferior and upper/superior types) In other words they are more predictable than they may appear. In Read More…
Background: Facial implants are a common method used for permanent aesthetic augmentation. But the concept to grasp about their use is that is a reason that are available as off-the-shelf preformed implants….they are made for modest aesthetic concerns that can be improved by a single ‘spot’ augmentation. This is the role that standard cheek and Read More…
Th typical perception of the outer shape of the jaw angles is that they are a flat surface. This is certainly how they are seen in looking at regular x-rays and on most plastic jaw models. But in looking at many 3D CT scans for jawline implant designs it is apparent that their actual topography Read More…
