'''Chin Schield''': a middle way between a genioplasty and a chin wing surgery. The Chin Schield involves an advancement of the chin and a part of the jawline. This surgery can be performed at the same time with a Bimax. | '''Chin Schield''': a middle way between a genioplasty and a chin wing surgery.

'''Jawline Implantation''': a jawline implant can increase the width of the jaw and/or increase the angularity of the gonial region and length of the ramus. | '''[[Jawline]] Implantation''': a jawline implant can increase the width of the jaw and/or increase the angularity of the gonial region and length of the ramus. | ||
'''Orbital Rim Implantation''': a common (and usually unnoticed) aesthetic deformity is called a negative orbital vector. This deformity is caused by a weakly developed lower orbital rim (bottom of the eye socket, directly above the cheekbones). It causes the [[eyes]] to look tired and overly protrusive or bulging. Sometimes, it leads to scleral show. This means that the whites of the [[eyes]] are visible underneath the iris, since the lower orbital rim is too weakly developed to hold the lower eyelid in its ideal position. An implant can be placed directly under the eye, through an incision made into the lower eyelid, to correct this problem. | '''[[Orbital Rim]] Implantation''': a common (and usually unnoticed) aesthetic deformity is called a negative orbital vector.

'''Cheekbone Implantation''': this involves using an implant to augment the malars, or the front of the cheekbones. It is not common to augment the zygomatic arches, or sides of the cheeks, through implants. Unfortunately, this procedure does not always produce quality results. They are often too subtle to make much of a visual impact, or they may create an unnatural shape to the cheeks. | '''[[Cheekbone]] Implantation''': this involves using an implant to augment the malars, or the front of the cheekbones.

'''Paranasal Implantation''': paranasal hollowing is a common facial defect. It is often related to [[maxillary retrusion]]. With paranasal hollowing, the bones around the base of the nose are weakly developed, leading to the appearance of a sunken midface. This can be addressed with implants placed around the base of the nose. | '''Paranasal Implantation''': paranasal hollowing is a common facial defect. It is often related to [[maxillary retrusion]].
