Background: The vast majority of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction/pain is extra capsular or outside of the joint. It is more related to the attached muscles and ligaments that work around the joint. But there are some cases where true intracapsular involvement occurs particularly when the lower jaw has been exposed trauma. The condyle of the Read More…
Background: Like any other body part, head size or the shape of the skull can be too big or disproportionate. Like small area or spot skull reductions larger skull surface areas can be reduced but the issues of access and effectiveness must be carefully considered. Access refers to what the incisional scar burden would be Read More…
Background: In placing a chin implant there are two approaches, intraoral and submental incisional access. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. What is most obvious to the patient is that the intraoral approach avoids an external scar with a somewhat higher risk of infection. The submental approach has a lower risk of infection but at Read More…
Background: While the most common chin augmentation change is in the horizontal dimension, there are occasional needs for a vertical increase as well. Such vertical increases are often an accompanying change with a horizontal augmentation and usually are of a lesser movement. There are, however, patients whose chin argumentation needs are dominated by the vertical Read More…
Background: As a projecting solitary structure, the chin has a three dimensional component to it. By far the most common type of chin dimensional change requested by patients is augmentative in nature, usually in the horizontal direction.

At the bottom of the occipital bone on the back of the head is the central inion, or occipital knob, as Read More…
Background: The jaw angles of the lower jaw represent two-thirds of the lower face. Despite occupying a large surface area and providing significant soft tissue support to the overlying soft tissues, the jaw angles have historically been less aesthetically recognized than that of the singular projecting chin. This is understandable given that the chin is Read More…
Background: There are numerous factors to consider in chin augmentation from the method (implant vs osteotomy), material if an implant is used, to the dimensional changes required to achieve the desired effect. Despite the variety of options available successful results can be achieved with a wide variety of combinations of these factors provided it is Read More…
Background: The webbed neck is a well known congenital deformity that appears as bands of loose skin along both sides of the neck. Anatomically it is more than just skin, the neck webs also consist of a widened trapezius muscle as well. Such neck webs are most commonly associated with Turner and Noonan syndromes. But Read More…
Background: Having a well defined lower third of the face, a good jawline, is one the most important features of the male face. While there are many variations/personal tastes to what makes for a well defined jawline, there are certain essential components to it. These include an adequately projected chin, a desired chin shape (round Read More…
