Background: The jawline for men and women is the key feature of the lower face. While once all focus was on the chin, this perspective is short-sighted today. While many patients will still benefit by chin augmentation alone, a growing number of patients want/need a total jawline approach to achieve their aesthetic facial goals. Total Read More…
Background: Aesthetic deficiencies of the lower eye/eyelid have a variety of presentations. Dark circles, teat tear troughing, negative vectors and a flat midface describe some of the common terms used to describe the external appearance of a skeletal deficiency of the infraorbital rim or lower eye bone. As a companion to the supraorbital rim or Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation with implants has a long successfully history. While standard chin implants work for many patients, significant chin deformities do not fare as well. The shape and size of off-the-shelf implants are made for more modest to moderate aesthetic deficiencies primarily in the horizontal direction. In the more severe horizontally deficient chin, which Read More…
Bony augmentation of the face has been done by a variety of commonly used facial implants. While many of these implants work fine for standard aesthetic problems of the chin and cheeks, many other facial areas require a customized implant approach. This is particularly relevant when jawline augmentation is needed. Due to the amount of Read More…

The combination of chin and jaw angle implants, a three implant approach, provides enhancement of the three corners of the lower face. While theoretically appealing and a good solution for many jawline needs, it can be Read More…

Background: The size of the forehead has a major influence on the appearance of one’s face, occupying the entire upper third of it. Beyond its size the shape of the forehead is also important with many gender specific features. In general, males have stronger brows, a wider forehead and a gentle backward slope to it. Read More…
Background: The shape of the lower face is defined primarily by the size and dimensions of the lower jaw. While a strong or more defined lower jaw shape has always been desired by men, it has also taken on more significance in women with contemporary aesthetic facial standards. The well defined female jaw shape can Read More…
Cheek implants provide augmentation to the cheekbone or zygomatic major bony prominence. This produces an anterolateral midface effect that is useful for more common augmentations of isolated and mild to moderate aesthetic cheek deficiencies. But the cheekbone is part of the overall midface skeleton with extensions onto the eye (infraorbital rim) and the upper jaw. Read More…
Alloplastic chin augmentation is the oldest facial implantation procedure. As a result, many different styles and sizes of chin implants have been used over the five decades of the procedure being performed. While in the vast majority of patients standard preformed chin implants work just fine, they do not always achieve the patient’s aesthetic lower Read More…
