Background: The sliding genioplasty is a well known bony reshaping procedure of the chin. It is best recognized for increasing horizontal projection and vertically lengthening the chin. But it can also be used for many other dimensional changes changes of the chin bone such as asymmetry correction, vertical shortening as well as decreasing its width. Read More…
Jaw surgery has a long association with the need for maxillomandibular fixation. (MMF) Wiring the jaws together is an essential first step in many types of maxillofacial surgery. Whether it is in elective orthognathic procedures, the treatment of jaw fractures or in the reconstruction of the jaw after cancer reconstruction, the application of maxillomandibular fixation Read More…
Background: The importance of a well defined jawline in a male is essentially equivalent to breasts in a female. It is certainly the single most important facial feature for a man and can even be argued that it is the most important overall body feature. Improving a man’s facial profile has historically been focused on Read More…
Facial implants of any type of dimensions will always cause some temporary swelling and bruising. Both types of performed jaw implants, chin and jaw angles, cause a predictable amount of facial swelling that will most certainly be viewed as significant by the patient. Typical facial swelling takes two days to reach its peak and the Read More…
Background: The desire for a more pronounced and visible lower jawline exists in both men and women. The surgical methods to do so are more commonly requested by men particularly when it comes to a substantially larger jawline change. Making a jawline more evident focuses on increasing the size and shape at its ‘corners’, that Read More…
Background: Reshaping of the entire jawline to a more slim or narrowed shape has become known as V line surgery. It is most commonly done in Asians to change a wide and more square jaw to a more narrow and triangular one. It is a bony reshaping surgery which focuses on the chin anteriorly and Read More…
Background: Symmetry of the lower third of the face, and the jawline specifically, is one of the most important components of facial aesthetics. Asymmetry in the jawline can occur in any of its components from the chin, body or ramus of the mandible. Differences in lengths of the ramus due to development is one of Read More…
Background: Lower jaw deficiencies are most commonly perceived as being of the horizontal variety. A short chin invokes the need for horizontal chin augmentation and this certainly is the most common jaw augmentation procedure. It is also the simplest and most easily performed. But jaw deficiences can occur in other dimensions as well and their Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetry is not uncommon and can occur from multiple causes. One of the most common is that from plagiocephaly where the entire craniofacial skeleton rotates or twists around a central axis resulting in a classic pattern of skull and facial bone asymmetries. But most facial asymmetries do not have such well identified causes Read More…
Background: The bony anatomy of the mandible (jawline) is highly responsible for the shape of the lower face. This is well demonstrated by historic augmentation procedures (chin and jaw angle implants) and more recent aesthetic jawline reduction procedures. (V-line jaw reshaping) Both jawline augmentation and reduction procedures have their challenges but jawline augmentation procedures are Read More…
