A custom jawline implant offers the most effective and powerful strategy for augmenting the lower third of the face. Designed as a single implant its wrap around effect connects the chin and the jaw angles into a confluent aesthetic effect. Since it is designed as a single implant, it is ideal to place it as Read More…
Background: Lower facial or jaw asymmetry is one of the most common forms of facial asymmetry. The projecting nature of the chin/lower jaw, its paired development from the embryonic brachial arches and the relative complexity of the mandibular shape with its various attached soft tissues creates a lot of potential for an asymmetric shape. While Read More…
The shape of the male forehead is distinctly different from that of the female. In addition to the inferior brow bone projections, it is broader, flatter and more vertically inclined in shape. It also has more distinct lateral temporal lines which is the transition between the bony forehead and the temporal soft tissues. Given that Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the forehead can be done like any other facial bone. (technically the forehead is actually part of the skull) What is unique about forehead augmentation, particularly in the male patient, is the consideration of the brow bones which have a different shape and thickness. This consideration is also relevant for women but Read More…
Background: V line surgery is a form of lower jaw reshaping that is largely a reductive procedure. It has gained popularity around the world as it reshapes the lower face into a more narrow one. It is far more commonly performed in women although some men with very large lower jaws undergo the procedure as Read More…
The custom infraorbital-malar implant offers a diverse number of aesthetic benefits. Its anterior portion augments the infraorbital rim treating undereye hollows and providing increased lower eyelid support. Its connected posterior portion provides augmentation to the cheek area. This curved implant style has a wide variety of options for its bony coverage, shape and thicknesses. When Read More…
Background: A chin implant is the most common facial augmentation procedure. This is evidenced by the large number of chin implant styles and sizes that exist from which the surgeon can choose. Such standard implants will work for the vast majority of chin augmentation needs. But when certain chin dimensional needs exist standard implants may Read More…
The male face typically has more prominent bone development than a female. The seven points of the face (chin, jaw angles, cheeks and brow bones) are more visible in men because these bony areas have undergone more development. There are other facial features that differentiate men from women (e.g., nose) but these skeletal landmarks serve Read More…
Upper third of the face augmentation is most successfully done in women by the design and fabrication of a custom forehead implant. Given that most women seek forehead augmentation to create an improved convexity and verticality, often with little to no lower brow bone enhancement, it is important to assess preoperative brow position. Some women Read More…
Background: The narrow forehead is often associated with an overall narrow skull shape development. Critical assessment of the narrow forehead shows that it is most restrictive at the temporal lines which indicates it is a combined bony and soft tissue deficiency. Thus augmenting the narrow forehead requires an approach that can provide a more complete Read More…
