Patient 1

This 42 year-old Asian female underwent an anatomical chin implant surgery to enhance her jawline and chin. She chose not to have the "sliding genioplasty" surgery recommended by other surgeons as it would have required her to have her jaw broken and wired for six weeks. She would have considered that surgery if there were a medical indication - i.e. sleep apnea, but she did not have apnea. Since her concerns were simply cosmetic and not functional, she chose my recommended less invasive procedure. The anatomical chin implant was made of Medpor, a material that integrates into the body, as does a knee or hip implant.

Patient 3

This 69 year-old woman had a complicated past medical history that contributed to her lid droop. First, she had a tumor removed from the front of her skull that left her with a bony depression in her forehead. During the surgery to remove the tumor and repair the bony defect, there was an injury to the nerve that stimulates the elevation of the brow muscle. An ophthalmologist mistakenly attributed the drooping to excess upper eyelid skin, and performed a blepharoplasty to remove some skin. In fact, the problem was not extra eyelid skin, but a drop in brow position. When I saw this patient in consultation, I recommended direct brow lift surgery to restore proper brow position. NOTE: This patient was lucky that her prior surgeon removed only a minimal amount of upper eyelid skin, or she might not have been able to fully close her eye after the direct brow lift surgery.
