Background: Aesthetic skull deformities are common of which plagiocephaly is the most well known. Also called cranioscoliosis the natural oblong shape of the skull is twisted with the back of the head being flatter on one side. Such shape deformities are best treated by a custom skull implant made from the patient’s 3D CT scan. Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetry is common in both young and older people. Most of the time these asymmetries are not large and are usually well tolerated. It is commonly said that most people have facial asymmetries and this is perfectly normal. It is even said that some degree of asymmetry adds character to the face and Read More…
Background: The skull is prone to many deviations in its shape of which most are relatively minor. But just because the shape aberration appears relatively small in size compared to the overall skull surface area, this does not mean it is viewed as aesthetically minor to the patient. Ridges, bumps and other ‘high spots’ can Read More…
Background: While cheek implants are well known and done, how they actually work is often not appreciated. By being placed through an intraoral subperiosteal approach (most common insertion technique used) it is necessary to release the zygomatic ligaments and overlying soft tissues over and around he cheekbones. Once the implant is placed it acts like Read More…
Background: Chin implant augmentation is a common facial plastic surgery procedure that is not typically associated with wound healing problems. While the aesthetic outcome may be up for discussion in some cases, implants generally heal with a very low rate of infection or incisional wound healing problems. This is because the overlying soft tissue chin Read More…
Background: Some women seek a natural breast augmentation result. That look is open to various interpretations amongst women but most of the time means a breast mound that is less full on the the top than on the bottom. This is the natural shape of the breast particularly as women age. Since most breast implant Read More…
Background: The shape of the skull is most easily seen in men. Due to short hair or a shaved head, the outline of the head from all angles can be discerned. A more masculine head shape is open to interpretation and has probably never been clearly defined. But it could probably be defined as one Read More…
Background: Brow bone reduction is done in both men and women. However the techniques may be different based on the amount of brow bone reduction required. In my experience most men that consider and undergo reduction of their brow bone prominences do so because they are extremely large and have a dramatic impact on the Read More…
Background: Skull shape abnormalities are well known and are most commonly recognized in congenital deformities. These are often fairly severe and may require early infantile cranial vault surgery. But there are a variety of more modest skull shape aberrations that affect a far greater number of people and would be considered more aesthetic in nature. Read More…
Background: Chin reduction is a procedure that is largely done in females. While a larger chin is often tolerated in a man, it is much less aesthetically pleasing in a female. It is the converse of a small chin which is far more tolerated in women than in men. While chin reduction is done in Read More…
