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…

Cupped vs Solid Displacement Testicular Implants – A Comparative Case Study

Introduction There are two primary implant concepts used for testicular enlargement: wraparound implants and side by side (displacement) implants. The side?by?side technique uses a solid testicular implant placed adjacent to the natural testicle. Implant size is determined by how much volume is required to adequately displace the native testicle. The wrap?around technique uses an implant Read More…

Adult Brachycephaly Skull Reshaping Case Study

Adult brachycephaly refers to a persistently short, wide head shape (increased cranial width relative to length) that began in infancy and remained into adulthood. What it is Definition: Brachycephaly = reduced front-to-back skull length with increased width Cephalic index: Typically > 80–85 In adults, the skull bones are fused, so the shape is stable and non-progressive The most common cause is positional Read More…

Second Stage Buttock Implants After Lower Buttock Lifts Case Study

Buttock implants are solid silicone implants placed surgically to increase projection, shape, and firmness of the buttocks. They’re different from injectabelfillers and from fat transfer (BBL). They’re usually considered when: Someone is very lean and doesn’t have enough fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) They want more projection than fat transfer alone can provide Read More…

Lower Buttock Lift for Buttock Ptosis Case Study

Introduction A lower buttock lift is a body-contouring procedure designed to tighten and elevate sagging tissue in the lower portion of the buttocks, particularly at the junction where the buttock meets the upper thigh (the infragluteal or buttock crease). Indications A lower buttock lift is used to address: Loose or sagging skin of the lower Read More…

Custom Jawline Implant After Vertical Bony Chin Lengthening Case Study

A custom jawline implant after vertical chin lengthening is a very logical and commonly paired sequence when the goal is a stronger, longer, and more continuous lower facial contour. Here’s how these procedures can be done either staged or together. In the staged approach 1. Vertical Chin Lengthening Comes First Vertical chin lengthening by an opening wedge Read More…

Male Pretrichial Browlift Case Study

A pretrichial brow lift is a surgical technique used to raise the eyebrows while preserving the natural hairline, making it especially useful for patients with a high forehead. What “pretrichial” means Pretrichial = in front of the hairline The incision is placed right at the hairline, not behind it Key goals of a pretrichial brow Read More…

Nostril Lowering for Asymmetry Correction – Case Study

Introduction Nostril base lowering refers to surgical maneuvers that reposition the base of the nostril (alar base and nostril sill) to a lower position on the upper lip. This technique is distinct from alar rim lowering and is performed far less frequently. However, in carefully selected patients, it can be a highly effective solution for Read More…

Long-Term Results of the Older Male Direct Neck Lift – Case Study

Introduction A direct neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to correct significant neck skin laxity by directly excising excess skin from the anterior neck, rather than relying on indirect skin tightening through a facelift approach. What It Is Excess skin is excised directly from the front of the neck The incision is typically placed Read More…
