Decreasing the width or excessive convexity of the side of the head is performed by a procedure known as temporal reduction. This is an operation in which the full thickness of the posterior temporal muscle belly is removed. This is done through an incision placed in the crease of the back of the ear (postauricular Read More…
Background: The width of the side of the head is controlled by muscle and not bone. This is a revelation for most patients as the belief is that the thickness of the temporal bone is what makes the head wide. But a look at the anatomy reveals that the bone is actually deeply concave by Read More…
One very highly successful skull reshaping procedure is that of temporal reduction. Done to reduce the width or convexity on the side of the head, it achieves its effect by removal of part or all of the posterior temporal muscle. It is performed through an incision behind the ear in the postauricular sulcus which provides Read More…
Decreasing the width or excessive convexity of the side of the head is done by removal of the posterior temporalis muscle.

Facial width reduction can be done by a variety of bone reshaping surgeries. Cheekbone osteotomies are a common techniques for reducing midfacial width. This is done by a combined anterior osteotomy done intraorally that goes through the main body of the zygoma and a posterior osteotomy done externally through the temporal process of the back Read More…

By removing the full-thickness of the posterior portion of the temporal muscle Read More…
