Background: Augmentation of the legs is traditionally done by calf implants. They are the only FDA-approved standard leg implants that have existed…and will likely ever be. But that does not mean that other leg muscles can not be augmented but they have to be done on an individual custom designed basis. The lessons learned from Read More…
Background: The shape of the head is largely controlled by the contour and thickness of the various skull bones. The lone exception is the side of the head from the lateral orbital rim all the way to the back of the head on which the temporalis muscle runs. It is the thickness of this muscle Read More…
Background: Chin augmentation using an implant is the most common form of facial augmentation. It has been around for over a half century and is generally thought of a straightforward procedure with a high success rate. And this is true when it is applied for modest chin deficiencies that are associated with no significant lower Read More…
Background: Midface augmentation is a general term that could affect any of the number of bony surfaces that make up the middle third of the face. The infraorbital rims and maxilla provide anterior augmentation surfaces for forward projection while the zygomatic body and arch provide lateral augmentation surfaces for adding midface width. By far the Read More…
Background: Chin implants are a relatively straightforward procedure in terms of surgical placement. But that does not mean it always achieves a satisfactory aesthetic outcome. There are many variables in trying to achieve an aesthetic outcome in each patient that should be considered. This include the natural shape of the chin, whether it is a Read More…
Background: There are numerous medical reasons why a young male may have undergone testicle removal. Trauma and testicular torsion usually top the list and in these circumstances removal is unavoidable. Once fully recovered one has the option of either living with one testicle or replacing the lost one. It is impossible to know how many Read More…
Background: While chin implants are commonly performed and many plastic surgeons perform them that does not mean that all results are similar. While an implant provides an assured volume effect, it still requires being properly positioned on the bone. This takes into account not only symmetry but placement on the bone where its effect can Read More…
Background: Standard chin implants works well for the vast majority of modest to moderate chin augmentation needs. While the chin is a projecting facial structure that has a three dimensional shape, it is most commonly evaluated in only the side or profile view both before and after surgery. While the profile assessment is an important Read More…
Background: Chin implants can be inserted from either an external or intraoral approach. There are advantages and disadvantages with either approach and both can be equally successful with good surgical technique. While the intraoral approach is scarless it is prone to somewhat higher risks of malposition (superiorly) and infection. The most common of the two Read More…
Background: Chin implants are the most common form of aesthetic jaw augmentation, both historically and currently. Despite their effectiveness at the front edge on the jaw where they are placed, they affect less than one-third of the jawline surface area. Thus it is important for patients to understand what they can and can not. Patients Read More…
