Background: The skull is prone to deformational forces during its development which can adversely affect its shape. While these effects can occur anywhere on the five surfaces of the skull they are most commonly seen on the back of the head. This is probably due to the neonate’s head’s position in utero and most certainly Read More…
Background: When evaluating facial asymmetries I divide them into two basic types, craniofacial and aesthetic. Some many view this distinction as minor vs major but the terms craniofacial and aesthetic is more meaningful as it differentiates how they are treated. Major facial asymmetries are often syndromic (e.g., hemifacial microsomia), usually involve earlier intervention in childhood Read More…
Background: The one primary feature that separates the male forehead from that of the female is the presence of visible brow bone mounds/protrusions. Males have these inferior forehead prominences and the suprabrow break above them that creates this uniquely male forehead shape. Occasionally some females will be seen with brow bone prominences but they are Read More…
Background: Osteomas are the most common benign bony masses of the forehead. Their fixed firm location with the scalp above to slide back and forth over it confirms the diagnosis and radiographic imaging assessment is not usually needed. Removal of forehead osteomas can be done by direct, hairline or retro hairline approaches. Once into the Read More…

It is essentially a removal of the inferior border of the lower jaw from the jaw angles up to the chin. The chin is then reshaped by various forms of t-shaped osteotomies to narrow Read More…
Background: While chin implants are commonly performed on both men and women, that does not mean they should be performed in an identical manner. In that regard I am not referring to the surgical technique to place them. Rather I am referring to the implant style and size chosen for the different genders. I think Read More…

Background: Aesthetic manipulation of the jaw angle region, whether for implant placements or bone cutting work, involves elevation of the large enveloping masseter muscle. It is the insertion of the muscle along the inferior and posterior border that often must be elevated to perform the various procedures. The extent of this muscle elevation depends on Read More…
