Background: The sliding genioplasty is a well known chin reshaping procedure. Unlike its bigger brother, the sagittal split ramus osteotomy done back at the jaw angles, the sliding genioplasty does not affect the occlusion or any movement of the lower jaw. It is an isolated procedure done just on the chin bone at the anterior Read More…
Background: The forehead appears on superficial assessment as a relatively flat surface structure with little to contribution to one’s facial appearance. But in reality it is has a substantial contribution to the shape of the face making up to one-third of its surface area. The three aesthetically important forehead structures are the shape and length Read More…
Background: Injectable fillers have revolutionized aesthetic volume treatment options in the face. By being able to be placed beneath the skin by a needle or cannula they can be virtually injected almost anywhere. The limits to their placement is only adequate elasticity and thickness of the soft tissues to receive them. While over twenty brand Read More…
Background: The bones around the eye consist of three rim segments, supraorbital, lateral orbital and infraorbital rims. The medial aspect of the orbital bone that completes its circumference is not a convex rim of bone but a concave surface. All of the orbital rims can be aesthetically augmented of which the brow bones (supraorbital rim) Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the lower jaw is traditionally done by standard chin and jaw angle implants. While effective in properly selected patients, standard implants are not ideal when jaw asymmetry exists. Standard jaw implants are best thought of as ‘spot’ methods of augmentation that work well when the three corners (chin and two jaw angles) Read More…
Background: The chin is a jutting facial feature that has three distinct dimensions. Horizontal projection, vertical height and transverse width are all chin features that can clearly be discerned. Because it is a protruding 3D structure, changing one of the dimensions will visually cause a change in the other ones. For example if the chin Read More…
Background: The forehead in a male has visible brow bone prominences, a supra brow bone break and a slight backward slope to the forehead. The backward slope is anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees and the side to side contour has limited convexity. The amount of horizontal brow bone prominence is in the range of Read More…
Background: Chin ptosis occurs from a variety of reasons, most of which are iatrogenic…meaning it coms from prior chin surgery. The most common form of aesthetic chin surgery that leads to soft tissue pad ptosis is reversal of a prior augmentation. Whether this is the removal of an implant or the partial or total reversal Read More…
Background: Fractures of the lower jaw are one of the most common types of facial fractures. While in adults such fractures may often occur from fights, in younger patients sporting events and recreational activities are the more common sources. Also in younger patients the severity of the mandibular fracture in terms of bone displacement is Read More…
Background: Hip implants are the newest implant method of augmentative body contouring. Their recent emergence as an aesthetic option for hip augmentation has been generated by the widespread popularity of fat injection buttock augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift) and the need to have the lateral hip areas complement it as well as the lack of consistent Read More…
