One of most common forms of forehead reshaping surgery is augmentation of the brow ridges and frontal bone. Many more women than men historically undergo forehead augmentation surgery, most likely because of hairline and hair density issues. But some men still have the procedure as they value the improvement of their frontal skull/forehead shape as Read More…
The broad surface area of the forehead seems like a relatively simple facial area to augment. But in reality it is much harder to do so successfully than it appears. Getting the right implant shape and contour, having it blend smoothly into the upper temporal areas and not being overdone or looking unnatural are all Read More…
Background: Forehead augmentation is typically done for people that have a lack of projection in the upper third of their face. Flat or recessed foreheads in both projection and angulation can be effectively treated using an onlay material approach. Bone cements have historically been used for such forehead augmentations. But they have largely been replaced Read More…
Background: The projection of the forehead plays a significant role in the appearance of the upper third of the face. If it is sloped too far backward, it will make the brows appear more prominent and create a high or elongated hairline. If it is too far forward it appears too prominent and oversized for Read More…
Background: The presence of a discernible brow bone is a classic male forehead feature. The existence of a brow bone break, where the edge of the underlying frontal sinus development stops and the flatter forehead begins, is what separates men from most females. How significant this brow bone break should be in men, which is Read More…
The shape of the forehead can be augmented using multiple techniques. The two most common and successful methods are the use of bone cements and a custom 3D implant. Each of these two approaches can be very effective although the custom implant approach can be done using a smaller incision with an assured smooth and Read More…
Background: The shape of the forehead in men is determined by the prominence of the brow bones and the slope and width of the forehead above it. Most men have some degree of brow bone protrusion as evidenced by the presence of a brow bone break before going up into the forehead. How protrusive the Read More…
Background: The forehead is responsible for a major part of the shape of the face. Its broad skin surface area can have a variety of shapes that exhibit well known gender differences. Contemporary desired forehead shapes in females are more vertical in inclination with a convex shape from side to side. Unlike most men who Read More…
The forehead occupies a large amount of the face, encompassing up to one-third of its frontal surface area. While it appears to be a featureless surface, there are well known gender differences in its shape. It is traditionally known that men have prominent brow bones and a forehead that has more of a relative backward Read More…
Background: The best method to aesthetically augment the entire forehead is with a custom implant approach. Being able to select the exact dimensions and shape of the implant beforehand and design it on the patient’s 3D CT scan offers a huge aesthetic advantage over creating the augmentation by hand intraoperatively with bone cements. While there Read More…
