Background: The male forehead is well known to have several distinct topographic features that make it gender identifiable. The presence of brow bones is the most prominent of them and is created by the larger underlying frontal sinuses which create the raised angulated mounds next to the central glabella above the frontonasal junction. There also Read More…
Background: The shape of an aesthetically desirous forehead in a female is distinctly different than that of a male. The absence of brow bones is an obvious difference but the overall shape of the forehead is rounder with more vertical inclination. Equally important is the transition into the temporal area which should be seemless as Read More…
Background: The shape of the forehead in a male is dominated by one structure, the brow bones. That is the distinguishing feature that separates the male vs female forehead shape and is directly the result of an increased pneumatization of the frontal sinuses. The protruding convex brow bones separate from the forehead above it through Read More…
Background: The most significant forehead feature in men are the brow bones. While the brow bone shape seems fairly simplistic it actually has a complex topography that is created by the development of the frontal sinuses medially and the frontal skull bone laterally. The perception of the size of the brow bones is determined by Read More…
Background: Augmentation of the forehead can be done like any other facial bone. (technically the forehead is actually part of the skull) What is unique about forehead augmentation, particularly in the male patient, is the consideration of the brow bones which have a different shape and thickness. This consideration is also relevant for women but Read More…
Upper third of the face augmentation is most successfully done in women by the design and fabrication of a custom forehead implant. Given that most women seek forehead augmentation to create an improved convexity and verticality, often with little to no lower brow bone enhancement, it is important to assess preoperative brow position. Some women Read More…
Background: The narrow forehead is often associated with an overall narrow skull shape development. Critical assessment of the narrow forehead shows that it is most restrictive at the temporal lines which indicates it is a combined bony and soft tissue deficiency. Thus augmenting the narrow forehead requires an approach that can provide a more complete Read More…
Brow Bone Augmentation Brow bone prominences with a suprabrow bone break are the hallmark of a masculine upper third of the face. Men always have some semblance of brow bone prominences while the vast majority of women do not. In the past, the typical surgical approach has been the application of bone cements or a Read More…
Frontal Hairline Advancement A long or high forehead based on the location of the frontal hairline creates a disproportionately large upper third of the face. While acceptable in males because of common hairline recession/loss, it is much less aesthetic in females. Shortening of the upper facial third by frontal hairline advancement (scalp advancement) is one Read More…
The most prominent shape on the forehead is that of the brow bones. (in men) Otherwise the surface of the forehead is relatively smooth. Because of the large surface area of the forehead, occupying one third of the face, any changes in its surface topography can be very visible. Whether it is a raised area Read More…
