Background: Chin implants are the most common type of surgical facial augmentation. They can be performed as a solitary procedure but are equally done as part of other aesthetic facial changes as well. In mild cases of microgenia (small chin) augmentation of the front end of the lower jaw produces a completely satisfying result. But Read More…
Background: Lack of adequate facial projection is a common aesthetic problem that can affects all three levels of the face (facial thirds), often occurring in more than one level in the same patient. The most recognized and treated facial third deficiency is the lower one as commonly seen in a weak chin. It is also Read More…
The cheek area is one of the most common types of facial augmentation procedures. While long ago once only achievable with implants, many more cheek augmentations are performed today by less invasive means with injectable fillers and fat. They offer a cheek augmentation effect with minimal recovery and generally a very low chance of any Read More…
Background: A custom jawline implant is designed with seven (7) specific dimensional components. Three of those dimensions relate to the more forward projecting part of the implant at the chin. While the chin constitutes less than 30% of the implant’s total surface area coverage it is the most valuable part of the implant due to Read More…
Background: The most significant forehead feature in men are the brow bones. While the brow bone shape seems fairly simplistic it actually has a complex topography that is created by the development of the frontal sinuses medially and the frontal skull bone laterally. The perception of the size of the brow bones is determined by Read More…
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…
