Background: The occipital knob is a common skull reshaping procedure that is exclusively requested by men in my experience. What brings it to the patient’s attention is their hairstyle, with either a very short or shaved head in which all topographic highlights of the skull becomes visible. The central bony projection that appears in the Read More…
Background: Unlike chin augmentation chin reduction surgery is different in many ways. First reducing the chin is done far less frequently than making it bigger. Second, it is almost exclusively a gender specific procedure (female) whether that is in the cis-female or the transgender male to female patient. Lastly, the component that is mainly excessive Read More…
Background: A custom jawline implant is designed with seven (7) specific dimensional components. Three of those dimensions relate to the more forward projecting part of the implant at the chin. While the chin constitutes less than 30% of the implant’s total surface area coverage it is the most valuable part of the implant due to Read More…
Background: Sagging of the breasts is both a normal and expected result of aging and the natural side position of the breasts on the torso. The amount of breast sagging that occurs is influenced by numerous factors including the natural size and shape of the breasts, pregnancies, weight loss, amount of breast tissue involution and Read More…
Background: The most significant forehead feature in men are the brow bones. While the brow bone shape seems fairly simplistic it actually has a complex topography that is created by the development of the frontal sinuses medially and the frontal skull bone laterally. The perception of the size of the brow bones is determined by Read More…
Background: Male brow bone reduction almost always requires a bone flap technique for maximal effectiveness. However, it is not the technique of brow bone reduction that is the major consideration in the surgery for men. Rather it is the location of the incision that I find to be the most important consideration which not only Read More…
Background: While men naturally have more visible brow bones due to an increased frontal sinus development, a few men will develop a larger brow bone protrusion than normal. This can be exacerbated in some by a more sloped forehead that lies above it. There is no specific measurement of how much brow bone protrusion is Read More…
Background: Lower facial or jaw asymmetry is one of the most common forms of facial asymmetry. The projecting nature of the chin/lower jaw, its paired development from the embryonic brachial arches and the relative complexity of the mandibular shape with its various attached soft tissues creates a lot of potential for an asymmetric shape. While Read More…
Background: The frontal bone which makes up the forehead develops from bony outgrowths of the frontal eminence region. As a result it occurs in some people that the frontal eminences may remain somewhat prominent when the forehead is fully developed. Because there is a frontal eminence on each side of the forehead any residual prominence Read More…
Background: The shape of the cheek is primarily controlled by the projection of the zygomatic body and the convexity of the zygomatic arch behind it. Given the length and potential variability of these combined zygomatic bone shapes, there is ample opportunity for one cheek to be different from the other. The degree of convexity or Read More…
