The size and shape of the chin and mandible are fundamental to sexual dimorphism. Deficiencies in these structures distract from the male facial esthetic. When deficient, these areas of the facial skeleton can be augmented by alloplastic au…

With the purpose of obtaining an aesthetically pleasing chin appearance, genioplasty or chin augmentation can be performed through osteotomy or chin implantation, with the latter available in different sizes and materials such as silicone a…

[BACKGROUND] The authors conducted this study to assess the impact that Drs. Joseph Gruss and Paul Manson have had on craniofacial surgery through their individual contributions and through their trainees. [METHODS] This was a retrospectiv…

Skeletal deficiency in the central midface impacts nasal aesthetics. This lack of lower face projection can be corrected by alloplastic augmentation of the pyriform aperture. Creating convexity in the deficient midface will make the nose se…

[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between quantitative measures of academic productivity and academic rank among full-time academic plastic surgeons. [METHODS] Bibliometric indices were computed for …

[BACKGROUND] Alloplastic chin augmentation requires the surgeon to predict the location of the mental foramen and the origin of the mentalis muscle to avoid the postoperative sequelae lower lip parasthesia, lower lip incompetence, or chin p…

[BACKGROUND] An estimated 116 086 facelifts were performed in 2011. Regardless of the technique employed, facial flap elevation carries with it anatomical pitfalls of which any surgeon performing these procedures should be aware. Injury to …

Concavity in the temporal area reflects a deficiency in the bulk of the temporalis muscle or overlying temporal fat pad. It may be a reflection of senescence, low body fat, exaggerated adjacent skeletal or soft-tissue contours, idiopathic p…

A novel approach to increase chin projection with alloplastic material is presented. Key aspects of the technique include the consideration of anthropometric normal values in preoperative assessment and planning, a submental approach with w…

Subperiosteal lateral brow and midface elevation, upper lid blepharoplasty, transconjunctival retroseptal fat removal, lower lid skin excision, and full-thickness skin rhytidectomy are combined in one operation to rejuvenate the entire face…

These studies investigated the utility of calcium alginate as a biocompatible polymer matrix within which large numbers of chondrocytes could be held successfully in a three-dimensional structure and implanted. Further, the ability of chond…

Techniques borrowed for the correction of congenital craniofacial deformities and acute traumatic reconstruction have improved the quality of secondary post-traumatic orbital reconstruction. These techniques include precise pre- and postope…

Large orbital fractures involving more than one orbital wall are frequently associated with enophthalmos and vertical globe dystopia. The authors repaired 22 orbits in 20 patients using the technique of rigid fixation of the internal orbita…

Soft-tissue alterations associated with radical degloving of the overlying soft tissues during extended open reduction and rigid internal fixation of facial fractures involving 51 orbits in 36 patients were studied. In all patients, the ble…

The malposition of an otherwise normal-appearing external ear is not uncommon in certain craniofacial syndromes. This paper presents a 10-year experience of 14 patients who underwent external ear repositioning. In this technique, a posterio…

A retrospective analysis of our experience, techniques, and concepts for the secondary reconstruction of orbital injuries to 78 patients over a 15-year period is presented. Secondary orbital reconstruction has the following four basic steps…
