Facial Feminization: Middle Third of the Face
Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Feb 14:S1042-3699(24)00003-7. doi: 10.1016/j.coms.2024.01.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFacial feminization surgery (FFS) as applied to the midfacial region targets modifications to the nasal and malar esthetic complexes. Although a global assessment is paramount in achieving desired functional results, most patients benefit from malar feminization in the form of bony and soft tissue augmentation, and nasal feminization in the form of reductive rhinoplasty. For patients with signs of aging, additional interventions in the form of rhytidectomy are powerful adjuncts to feminizati...

Preoperative Radiology and Virtual Surgical Planning
Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Feb 2:S1042-3699(23)00100-0. doi: 10.1016/j.coms.2023.12.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVirtual surgical planning enables precise surgical planning and translation of this planning into the operating room. Preoperative maxillofacial computed tomography scans are compared to a reference skull to identify desired surgical changes. In facial feminization surgery, these include forehead recontouring/frontal table setback, gonial angle reduction, and possible chin repositioning/reshaping, while in facial masculinization surgery, this includes forehead augmentation and gonial angle/ch...

Injectable Fillers for Lower Face Rejuvenation
Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Mar;32(1):15-22. doi: 10.1016/j.cxom.2023.10.002. Epub 2023 Nov 22.ABSTRACTThe lower face is an integral component of a beautiful face. Age-related changes in this region are so significant that they are often easily appreciated by patients. The aging process not only includes volume loss or downward fat repositioning, but also soft tissue laxity, skin changes, and even bony resorption. In the lower face, this results in sagging of the soft tissue leading to the formation of jowling, loss of an attractive well-defined jaw line, and a retruded chin. Both surgical and non-surgic...

Perioral Filler Augmentation
Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Mar;32(1):23-33. doi: 10.1016/j.cxom.2023.10.001. Epub 2023 Nov 29.ABSTRACTPerioral tissues are among the first areas to show signs of facial aging, leading many patients to seek perioral fillers as their initial cosmetic treatment. These fillers offer a temporary solution by enhancing volume and reducing common facial lines. Various regions within the perioral area can be targeted, including the lips, nasolabial folds, philtral columns, vertical lip rhytids, oral commissures, melomental folds, mentolabial folds, and nasolabial folds. The technique for injecting perioral fille...

Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty with Hyaluronic Acid
Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Mar;32(1):43-47. doi: 10.1016/j.cxom.2023.10.003.ABSTRACTThe history of nonsurgical rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid fillers dates back to the early 2000s when medical advancements in cosmetic dermatology began exploring less-invasive alternatives to traditional surgical procedures. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body known for its hydrating and volumizing properties, was being used successfully in other facial augmentation treatments. Around the mid-2000s, the use of hyaluronic acid fillers for nonsurgical rhinoplasty gained momentum. By injecting hya...

Periorbital Rejuvenation
Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Mar;32(1):49-55. doi: 10.1016/j.cxom.2023.09.002. Epub 2023 Oct 29.ABSTRACTThe periorbital region can be rejuvenated by the application of both neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Neuromodulators can elevate the brows and improve periorbital rhytids. Dermal fillers can camouflage orbital fat pseudoherniation and tear trough deformity.PMID:38307635 | DOI:10.1016/j.cxom.2023.09.002 (Source: The Surgical Clinics of North America)

Epub 2023 Nov 24.ABSTRACTThe field of non-surgical esthetic procedures has witnessed a significant surge in demand in recent years, with neuromodulators, skin treatments, and dermal fillers contributing significantly to the industry's growth. These procedures have become increasingly popular, reflecting the broader acceptance of esthetic enhancements in society. Neuromodulators play a pivotal role in facial rejuvenation, but they require precise knowledge of facial anatomy to optimize results and prevent complications. They inc...
