Background: While chin implants have been around a long time for increasing projection of the front of the jaw, jaw angle implants have been far less used for augmentation of the back of the jaw. As a result a good understanding of the anatomy and the surgical technique to place them is not as well Read More…
Background: Any form of skull augmentation must consider the stretch of the scalp to accommodate it. The scalp is a naturally tight soft tissue covering as it is stretched over a large hard convex surface and there is no functional purpose in it being loose. Once elevated from its bony attachments across the top of Read More…
Background: The historic approach to complete jawline augmentation is with the use of standard styles and sizes of chin and jaw angle implants. This three implant approach can be effective but is prone to asymmetries of implant positioning, an incomplete jawline effect and limitations of shapes and sizes of implants that are commercially available. The Read More…
Background: The most common ear reshaping procedure is a setback otoplasty for the correction of protruding ears. (technically earlobe repair is the most common ear surgery but this is not an ear reshaping surgery) In an otoplasty the ear generally has good components but is distorted by its protrusive condition.

In general a more convex shape is desired whether seen from the side or front views. But beyond the general concept of convexity no specific shape numerical measurements exist Read More…
Background: While jaw augmentation is most commonly associated as an aesthetic male procedure, it is done in women also. Women today can be just as concerned about the shape of their lower face and jawline. Many female celebrities, models and TV news women can be seen to have good jawlines. While the strength of the Read More…
Background: The shape of the entire face is heavily influenced by its underlying bone structure as is well known. While the effects of the overlying soft tissue do also have a significan influence on facial shape, that becomes less relevant the leaner one’s face becomes. This is seen along the jawline where thick facial and Read More…
Background: Orthognathic surgery is the collection of facial osteotomy procedures that have been done for more than fifty years. One of the most commonly performed is the sagittal split ramus osteotomy or the SSRO. This incredibly clever osteotomy design, as the name implies, sections the ramus or angle area of the lower jaw into two Read More…
Background: In many aspects the shape of the buttocks is similar to that of the breasts. They are both soft tissue mounds that sit on the side the body with a muscular base. Both can have different mound sizes from to small to large that are subject to the effects of gravity and weight loss Read More…
