Background: Chin implant augmentation is the most common form of facial bone reshaping done. While it was the first type of facial implant procedure ever done, it still remains as the most commonly recognized and performed. While it is requested by both men and women, there is probably a larger number done in men. This Read More…
Background: The labiomental sulcus, often referred to as the labiomental fold, is the natural indentation at the upper extent of the soft tissue chin pad below the lower lip. Its depth varies based on genetics and bony chin shape. It represents the bony origin of the mentalis muscle attachment and the depth of the intraoral Read More…
Background: The narrow forehead is often associated with an overall narrow skull shape development. Critical assessment of the narrow forehead shows that it is most restrictive at the temporal lines which indicates it is a combined bony and soft tissue deficiency. Thus augmenting the narrow forehead requires an approach that can provide a more complete Read More…
Background: Adequate augmentation of the deficient midface has historically been in the province of the LeFort osteotomy. While such osteotomies can be done at different levels of the midface depending on the skeletal deficiency, the one constant was the improved occlusal relationship it provided. Malocclusion was the inferior indicator and the hallmark of such midface Read More…

While it affects the overall head shape and even the face frontally in some patients, overwhelmingly it is the flatter side of the back of the head that is most patient’s main priority to correct. Men present more commonly than women for Read More…
Background: The proportions of the face are well known and are divided into thirds. This can be assessed in its the frontal and profile views as it is a vertical assessment. While this is not the only way to assess how balanced the face is it is one of the most obvious and basic that Read More…
Background: The well known sliding genioplasty is a versatile chin reshaping procedure due to its capability of multidimensional movements. While most known for ‘sliding’ the chin bone forward (increased horizontal projection) it is capable of changing the vertical height of the chin (longer or shorter) as well as its width. This capability of change is Read More…
Background: One of the most well known aesthetic skull deformities is plagiocephaly. One of the hallmarks of this skull shape abnormality is a flattened side of the back of the head. While the degree of occipital flattening varies widely most patients are other ed when the degree of bone angulation when seen from above exceeds Read More…
