Horizontal Backlift with Rib 10 and 11 Removals and Rib 9 Osteotomy Case Study

Back Lifts: Clarifying the Two Primary Types Back lifts are body-contouring procedures with several variations. These are often grouped together, even though they produce very different contouring effects. The key distinction lies in the direction of skin excision, which determines the aesthetic outcome. What Is a Back Lift (Posterior Body Lift) A back lift removes Read More…

Revisional Setback Bony Genioplasty Case Study

A revision bony genioplasty is a secondary surgery to correct problems from a prior sliding genioplasty. It’s done when the first chin operation didn’t heal, position, or look the way it was intended—or when changes over time create new issues. Common reasons for revision Malposition: chin too far forward/back, too high/low, or asymmetric Nonunion or malunion: the Read More…

Iliac Crest Augmentation With Soft-Tissue Extended Flange Hip Implants (Aesthetic Pelvic Plasty)

Aesthetic pelvic framework contouring is achieved through subperiosteal augmentation of the lateral iliac crest using titanium implants, with optional adjunctive soft-tissue hip augmentation (autologous fat grafting or silicone implants). This combined approach enhances lateral hip width while smoothing contour transitions. Components 1. Iliac Crest Augmentation (Primary Procedure) Subperiosteal placement of titanium bone-widening implants Augmentation of Read More…

Male Soft Tissue Cheek Reductions Case Study

Soft tissue cheek reduction refers to procedures that slim the soft-tissue volume of the cheeks (not the cheekbone itself) to create a leaner, more contoured facial appearance—often aiming to reduce “chubby,” “full,” or “puffy” cheeks. What tissue is being reduced? Primarily fat and soft tissue, not bone. The main targets are: Buccal fat pad (deep fat in the lower cheek) Read More…

Custom Back of The Head Skull Implant for Adult Male Brachycephaly

A complete flat back of the head (often called occipital flatness or brachycephaly) can be augmented surgically if someone wants a more rounded, balanced skull shape. This is a real and fairly specialized area of craniofacial / aesthetic skull surgery. What is skull (occipital) augmentation? It’s a cosmetic procedure that adds projection and roundness to Read More…

Custom Midface Mask Implant Replacements for Standard Cheek Implants Case Study

Why replace standard cheek implants with a custom midface implant? Standard cheek implants (malar, submalar, or combined) are one-size designs. They work fine for isolated cheek augmentation, but they often fall short when: There is midface deficiency (infraorbital rim, paranasal, maxillary support) The implant looks “stuck on” rather than skeletal There’s aging-related midface collapse The Read More…

Custom Midface Implants vs Standard Cheek Implants – Comparison Case Study

Cheek implants are a well known permanent facial augmentation method that was originally developed for true  skeletal deficiencies. Such congenital or developmental deficiencies include: Flat or under-projected cheekbones Poor midface projection despite normal weight Long faces Class II skeletal patterns Patients with weak zygomatic prominence Sunken mid faces Cheek volume loss Cheekbone asymmetries Implants restore Read More…

Ciustom Infraorbital-Malar Implants in Negative Orbital Vector Anatomy Case Study

Custom infraorbital–malar implants are one of the most powerful (and under-used) solutions for true undereye hollowing, especially when the problem is skeletal deficiency, not just soft-tissue fat loss (e.g., after lower blepharoplasty) Undereye hollowing is often caused by: Infraorbital rim deficiency Negative vector midface Low malar projection with deep tear trough Thin lower-lid soft tissue Read More…
