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…
A sliding genioplasty is a well known chin reshaping procedure. In its original and most traditionally perceived form, it is a bone cut that allows the downfractured bony chin segment to be moved forward.

The jaw makeover seems to be one of the newer requested facial cosmetic procedures. Women and men grab their necks and stroke their jawline looking back on the days when it was much tighter and more defined. Men are particularly focused on their jawline feeling that a more prominent one would improve their appearance as Read More…
A strong jawline is a well known perceived desirable facial feature. While an obvious aesthetic asset in men, it is even so in women as long as the chin does not protrude too much. What what makes up a nice and well defined jawline? The jawline comes from the mandible or lower jaw which is Read More…
Background: An underdeveloped jaw or mandible has been historically treated by chin and jaw angle implants. A chin implant enhances the front part of the jaw while jaw angle implants augment the posterior part of the jaw. While these types of facial implants are tremendously effective at augmenting the two obvious prominences of the jaw, Read More…

It has been and always will be an important feature of a male face. Everyone knows that a strong jawline implies increased masculinity and increased Read More…
