Paranasal augmentation is a specific form of midface skeletal enhancement that is isolated to the side of the nose. It is anatomically identified externally at the junction of the nose and the face along the alar-facial crease. This is a naturally flat to concave part of the face that can become exaggerated in certain type Read More…
Increasing the projection of the central midface at the base of the nose and upper lip involves augmenting the bony perimeter of the pyriform aperture. This anterior bony opening in the maxilla leads into the nose. At its more narrow end superiorly are the nasal bones. At its larger lower end the bone curves down Read More…
Augmentation of the central midface can be done by placing an implant along the base and sides of the nose. Known as the pyriform aperture, it is the bony outline of the nasal cavity which makes a hole in the facial skeleton to the back of the throat. The soft tissue and cartilage structure of Read More…
