Background: The size and appearance of the forehead is heavily influenced by the location of the surrounding hairline, particularly the frontal portion of it. Frontal hairlines that are high, as in patients that have a long forehead, are common aesthetic concerns. Soft tissue forehead reduction or lowering of the frontal hairline can be done by Read More…
Background: While the brow bone is often perceived as a uniform raised bar of bone above the eyes, its topographic anatomy is more complex. The medial brow bone is made up of the expanded underlying frontal sinuses with a midline dip between them due to the septum which separates the paired sinus cavities. The outer Read More…
Background: The frontal bone of the skull makes up the bony forehead. Because of its prominence in the upper third of the face, it is frequently exposed to a variety of traumatic forces. To resist these traumatic forces and protect the underlying brain, the frontal bone is thick and very stout. Mild forces are merely Read More…
Background: Aesthetic leg augmentations most commonly are done in the lower half of the leg for the calf muscles. The medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles have a longitudinal orientation with an enveloping fascia. Because the muscle needs to slide within this enveloping fascial sheath for extension and flexion, a subfascial pocket can be created into Read More…
Background: Jaw asymmetries are one of the most common congenital facial asymmetries that present in a wide range of expressions. Most are small type asymmetries that most people would barely notice. But the more significant ones are more obvious with chins that are shifted to one side and with jaw angles that are profoundly different Read More…
Background: The sliding genioplasty for chin augmentation is a well known alternative to that of an implant. It is typically done for a completely or nearly complete horizontal chin augmentation effect. This also represents the most common type of aesthetic chin deficiency. A lesser known but also effective use of the chin osteotomy procedure is Read More…
Background: Aesthetic augmentation of the orbit is most commonly associated with the standard infraorbital rim or tear trough implant. While effective for the limited problems they are designed to treat, they are unable to affect the vast majority of the orbit rims and other bones attached to it. There is where custom implants and their Read More…
Background: The shape of the skull is affected by numerous bony and muscle features which ultimately work together to create an overall head shape. In a narrow head shape it is marked by a bony temporal line that is more narrow from the forehead to the back of the head. This can make the brow Read More…
Background: The shape of the skull is influenced by a variety of structural elements within it as well as external forces. The internal elements are mainly the suture lines around which the skull bones form and are shaped. The sutures lines have a major influence particularly where they join other suture lines. These junctional areas Read More…
Background: Removal of a section of the horizontal length of the clavicle is an effective method for shoulder width reduction. (shoulder narrowing) After the segment of bone is removed a single superior plate or double plate fixation (superior and anterior plates) is applied for bone fixation to allow primary bone healing. These plates are strong Read More…
