Background: Aesthetic skull augmentation have been done by two types of implantable materials, bone cements vs performed custom implants. These two skull augmentation materials have very different handling properties which not only affects their intraoperative placement but leads to major differences in what either one can aesthetically achieve. Failure to understand these differences leads many Read More…
Background: The forehead occupies a full upper third of the face and has a significant influence on the appearance of its shape. Part of framing the upper face is also the frontal and temporal hairline which can influence the appearance of the width of the forehead. Also contributing to the width of the forehead is Read More…
