Expansion of the scalp through inflatable devices (‘balloons’) is a well established reconstructive technique. Originally developed to treat lost or missing soft tissues (skin), increasing the size of the surrounding tissues to stretch out and cover what has been lost is the fundamental concept of tissue expansion surgery. Such a concept works best in the Read More…

While there can be a soft tissue component to it, more times than not it is caused by asymmetry of the bone. the most common location for jaw asymmetries is in the angle area. The mandibular ramus is the L-shaped portion of the jaw Read More…
Background: Reconstruction of the forehead is very different than aesthetic forehead augmentation. By definition reconstruction is required when a portion of the bony forehead has sustained a full-thickness bone loss. This most commonly occurs due to either trauma or the loss of a craniotomy flap after intracranial tumor surgery. When rebuilding the forehead that has Read More…

While they add desired amounts of horizontal projection and improve the facial profile, the extended wing designs of today’s chin implant designs can have adverse effects on they look in the front view. While the extensions on the implants are designed to create Read More…
