Background: In the effort to create a more defined face on the younger patient, the combination of skeletal augmentation and soft tissue reduction remains the main efforts to do so. While there are different ways to consider augmenting the facial bones, the definitive, most powerful and long-lasting are implants that push the soft tissues off Read More…
A variety of implants are available to augment the jawline and lower third of the face. Standard chin and jaw angle implants have been available for decades and one piece custom jawline implants have become more recently used. The most powerful of the two is the custom jawline implant as it expands the entire inferolateral Read More…
Background: Augmenting the entire jawline in a smooth and continuous fashion provides the most comprehensive and significant result in lower facial reshaping. It bypasses anything standard chin and jaw angle implants can do with their three corner spot augmentation approach. This effect is more than just about dimensions and as much about surface coverage. While Read More…
A custom jawline implant is the proven most effective method to change the lower third of one’s face. By providing total coverage of the entire jawline it changes the entire contour of the inferolateral aspect of the lower jaw from one jaw angle to the other jaw angle. Designed from the patient’s 3D CT scan, Read More…
Brow bone enhancement is often done as part of an overall forehead augmentation procedure/implant for both men and women. When only brow bone augmentation is requested, however, this is usually an exclusive male aesthetic procedure. Because of the need to limit the extent of any scalp incisions to the smallest extent, a premade custom brow Read More…
Background: One of the key male distinguishing features of the upper third of the face are the brow bones. It is a very gender specific facial feature that truly separates a male vs a female facial appearance. One other aesthetic aspect of having some brow bone protrusion is that it also helps provide some coverage Read More…
Background: While many people think of the jaw when a facial structure is skeletally or structurally deficient, every other facial bone can also have visible hypoplasias as well. The orbital bones are no exception and their complex circumferential shape and the eyeball that lies within have unique clinical presentations of bony deficiencies. While many people Read More…
Background: When most people envision the type of patient who presents for aesthetic lower jaw augmentation, they would assume that the person has a noticeable short lower jaw…in essence a true jaw deficiency. While this is historically true and is still an accurate perception for some patients today, an increasing number of patients now present Read More…
Background: A custom jawline implant is a powerful augmentation method. As it envelops the entire lower jaw from angle to angle its total external surface area coverage of the bone provides a true 3D change. While this augmentation effect can be impressive, its size also makes it the hardest facial implant to place. Through three Read More…
Background: A custom jawline implant is the single most powerful procedure I have seen in facial reshaping surgery for many patients. Expanding the inferolateral bony contours of the lower jaw around its entire surface predictably creates a change in the shape of one’s face that creates a visible difference in the face-neck transition. Custom jawline Read More…
