Jaw Augmentation

November 8, 2015

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in jaw augmentation. I want to change my whole jawline to make it like one of the men in my goal photos. Up until this point I was assuming the custom wrap around jawline implants would achieve it, but since I shaved my beard off to see what I had, I […]

Temporal Artery Ligation

November 7, 2015

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had contacted you months ago inquiring about temporal artery ligation.

So now I […]

Sliding Genioplasty

November 5, 2015

Q: Dr. Eppley,I underwent an 8mm sliding genioplasty three years ago.

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a question about chin implant surgery. I recently had a small central chin implant put in and I am about 3 1/2 weeks post-op. I really dislike the shape and am wondering if an extended chin implant would have been a better option. I have shadows/dents on either side of […]

Custom Jawline Implant

November 2, 2015

Q: Dr. Eppley,  Exploring options as part of the decision making process, I understand an alternative to the custom jawline implant would be a sliding genioplasty along with Gore-tex posterior mandibular angles and a mandibular body piece to go between the angle implant and the chin.  The advantage, I believe, would be a somewhat more […]

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in making my chin vertically longer.  I consulted a Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon where he took x-rays and he said that I should probably do jaw surgery because he cannot do a sliding genioplasty of more than 3 mm without any hip bone grafts.
