Background: Chin implant placement, whether done from a submental or intraoral approach, requires detachment of numerous ligaments from the bone to create the implant pocket. This anatomic necessity has little relevance, and often lack of surgeon awareness, unless the chin implant needs to be removed. The explantation process is far easier than its placement, particularly Read More…
Background: For augmenting the lower face there are a wide variety of procedures that are available to do so. From the non-surgical injectable fillers to custom jawline implants there is a spectrum of options that differ in both their aesthetic results and their degree of invasiveness. While the custom jawline implant is the complete and Read More…
Background: Jaw augmentation in various forms is a commonly requested procedure amongst men and women. Injectable fillers provide a temporary trial for jaw augmentation but besides the lack of permanency it can take a lot of injection volume to achieve a complete jaw augmentation effect. Standard implants (chin and jaw angles) do well for spot Read More…
Background: The most common method of lip augmentation is injectable fillers. While this lip augmentation method may not be permanent it is effective for many patents if they have an adequate amount of vermilion show to expand.

They either create the desired ear shape change or, at the very least, help hold it into its new position as it heals. These sutures Read More…
Background: Aesthetic skull reductions are done by a high speed burring technique. The usual goal is to remove the outer cortical layer of skull bone down to just outside the diploic space. In so doing as a result of the high speed rotary burr a lot of bone residue or dust is generated. Because of Read More…
Background: There are many features of the nose that affect its symmetry with the nostrils being one of them. Because they are paired structures there is always the chance of the shape and position of them can be different. The most common cause of nostril asymmetry is postoperative from rhinoplasty surgery. Due to the most Read More…
Background: The shape of the head is determined by the interface between the exposed bony surfaces of the skull and the overlying temporal muscles on its sides. This creates five surfaces (four sides and a top) which influences the appearance of the head from 360 degree viewing angles. Because any one of these skull surfaces Read More…
Background: The shape of the nose is controlled by many anatomic components but one of the most significant is that of the septum. Serving as the central support for all of the nasal structures on top of it, its aesthetic contribution is in largely controlling the height of the bridge and the projection of the Read More…
Background: The chin implant is the most historic of all the facial implants and still the most commonly performed facial implant procedure. Because access to the chin for implant placement does have any major impediments and the distance from either inside the mouth or below the chin is short, the chin implant is often viewed Read More…
