Female Frontal-Temporal Bossing Reduction – Case Study

Introduction Frontal bossing refers to a forehead shape in which the upper forehead protrudes farther forward than the lower brow area. This should be distinguished from the opposite condition, where the brow bones project more prominently than the upper forehead. Although both forms of forehead protrusion can occur in either gender, frontal bossing is more Read More…

Two-Stage Aesthetic Jaw Augmentation: A Case Study

Introduction Chin augmentation is the original and most common form of jaw augmentation surgery. For many patients, it may represent their only effort at lower facial enhancement. Although the chin comprises only about one-third of the total jaw surface area, its prominence makes it the most visually important component of the lower face. Consequently, many Read More…

Deltoid Muscle Atrophy and Shoulder Restoration Using Custom Implants Case Study

Introduction The shoulder’s outer contour is primarily defined by the deltoid muscles, which give it its characteristic rounded appearance. Anatomically, the deltoid forms a broad, triangular structure arising from the clavicle and scapula and inserting onto the humerus. It consists of three distinct muscle bellies—anterior (clavicular), lateral (acromial), and posterior (spinal)—that collectively produce the shoulder’s Read More…

Prominent Temporal Artery Ligations Following Facelift Surgery Case Study

Introduction Prominent temporal arteries are typically an aesthetic concern, and their underlying cause is often unclear. While there are rare medical reasons for their appearance, most cases are benign and cosmetic in nature. These vascular prominences are frequently misdiagnosed as veins; however, their serpiginous course from the temples into the forehead and their pulsatile nature Read More…

Secondary Genioplasty Case Study

Introduction Sliding (bony) genioplasty is a well-established technique for chin augmentation. Its main advantage is that it uses the patient’s own bone, avoiding the need for an implant. However, it has drawbacks: the bone cut can be angled in multiple ways, the resulting chin may take on an unnatural bony shape, and revisions are more Read More…

Clavicle Lengthening for Male Shoulder Enhancement

Introduction Shoulder widening, or augmentative shoulder reshaping, can be achieved through two main approaches. The external or direct approach involves augmenting the shoulder’s soft tissues (deltoid muscles) with either implants or fat injections. The internal or indirect approach increases clavicle bone length, thereby broadening the shoulders. Each method has distinct advantages, and in select cases, Read More…

Custom Skull Dent Implant Case Study

Background Congenital skull indentations are distinct depressions in the skull present at birth. They are most commonly partial-thickness defects rather than full-thickness bone deformities. The most likely cause is prolonged intrauterine pressure from structures such as the maternal sacral promontory, rib cage, or even the fetus’s own foot or hand. Although birth trauma (e.g., forceps Read More…

Facial Artery Aneurysm Surgery Results: A Case Report

Introduction Injectable fillers are widely used for facial rejuvenation and contouring, with hundreds of millions of procedures performed worldwide. Complications are uncommon but can be significant. The most serious is intravascular injection causing embolization and tissue necrosis, particularly in the central face where the facial artery is at risk. Less frequently reported is direct arterial Read More…

Congenitally Long Earlobe Shortening with Facelift Case Study

Background A vertically long or enlarged ear (macrotia) can result from several causes. Different regions of the ear may contribute to the enlargement—ranging from the middle concha and superior third crus cartilages to the lower third earlobe. To achieve an effective ear reduction, it is essential to identify the exact source of the enlargement so Read More…

The I Pattern Direct Necklift Excision for Large Neck Wattles Case Study

Background Neck sagging is an inevitable result of aging. The extent varies among individuals and is influenced by factors such as youthful neck shape and body weight. Strong jawlines with thinner tissues and healthy body weight tend to age with less noticeable neck changes, whereas those with less defined jawlines, thicker tissues, and higher body Read More…
