Supra-orbital Rim Augmentation and Brow Lift?

TristanLudlowOct 20, 2012
I'm a 45-year- old male. My brow ridge lacks projection so my profile looks very feminine. I would like my supra-orbital rim to be raised. Can "Kryptonite bone cement" which has osteo-conductive properties be used. Making a flat shaped implant on a skull by using external digital molding can easily be done. To adhere to bone the periosteum must first be raised just like an implant. I also need a brow lift. Can the same incision be used for both?

Specifically, chin implants cannot lengthen the face. Osteotomies and orthgnathic surgery is necessary for that. However, overall improvement in facial profile and balance can be achived with a chin implant.
