Background: The effectiveness of lower facelift surgery is based on the concepts of tissue mobilization and repositioning. This means that the loose face/jawline/neck tissues are moved back to a location where the redundancies can be excised and the scars placed in a relatively hidden location. (ears) While extremely effective and well chronicled with a long Read More…
Background: The temples are a unique aesthetic region on the side of the face. It typically has a flat or minimally concave external contour bounded by the bony temporal line superiorly, the lateral orbital rim anteriorly, the zygomatic arch inferiorly and the temporal hairline posteriorly. The temples have a hard tissue base consisting of the Read More…
Background: The temples are commonly recognized as the head/facial area that lies at the side of the eye just below the forehead. Anatomically at the skull level the temples is the juncture of four bones, the frontal, temporal, parietal and sphenoid. This joined bony areas create a deep concavity, known as the temporal fossa, which Read More…
Background: The projecting chin is a three dimensional structure that has both horizontal projection, vertical height and transverse width to it. But within these bony dimensions on both its outer and inner surfaces are small discrete areas of topographic features.

Background: Aesthetic jaw augmentations have historically been associated with men. While well defined jawlines have always been seen as an attractive facial feature for men as far back as one chooses to look at images, movies and advertisements, jawline augmentations have more recently become popular/desired by women. This can easily be seen by looking at Read More…
Background: Osteomas are well known benign bony overgrowths that frequently occur on the skull. The most common patient that presents for osteoma removal is when it occurs on the forehead for the obvious visibility reasons. It is easy to forget that the forehead (frontal bone) is part of the skull which explains their common occurrence Read More…
