Background: Augmentation of the forehead can be done like any other facial bone. (technically the forehead is actually part of the skull) What is unique about forehead augmentation, particularly in the male patient, is the consideration of the brow bones which have a different shape and thickness. This consideration is also relevant for women but Read More…
Background: Like most facial structures the eyes must develop symmetrically both for functional and aesthetic reasons. Given the complexity of the anatomy that makes up the structures surrounding the eyeball, it is a marvel of embryology and developmental growth that the eye area develops as symmetric as it does most of the time. Between the Read More…
Background: The back of the head is composed of the occipital bone inferiorly and the parietal bone superiorly. While the back of the head is commonly referred to as the occiput, this anatomically only refers to the lower half of the back of he head. Because of the two different bones that make up the Read More…

It is the linear groove between the buttocks that extends from the top[ fo the sacrum down to the perineum.

Since it is part of an overall cranioscoliosis the flattening effect can extend much Read More…
Chin reduction can be done in a variety of dimensions. What those dimensions are determines whether an intraoral or extra oral (submental) technique is used. Besides the bone dimensions consideration must also be given to how the enveloping soft tissues will respond to the reduction in bony support. One of the most interesting dimensions in Read More…
Background: The forehead is a non-conspicuous surface area other then the eyebrows. Between the frontal hairline and the eyebrows the forehead does not usually have any distinguishing features on its underlying bony surface. Eventually with age horizontal and vertical wrinkle lines will develop but these are soft tissue changes. Bumps on the forehead are particularly Read More…
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…
