Aesthetic forehead augmentation to correct a sloped, irregular or deficient frontal bone can be done by a variety of materials placed on top of the bone. Having used every one of them, they each have their merits and each material type can be successfully used in experienced hands. But the forehead augmentation method that Read More…
Background: Like the rest of the face, the appearance of the forehead is very gender specific. A female forehead usually has three specific components to it. First there is no perceptible brow bone ridge or brow bone break into the forehead. It is smooth as it ascends from the supraorbital rims into the upper Read More…
Reshaping a wide and prominent forehead is done by bone reduction, removing as much outer cortical bone of the skull as is needed to create more of tapered forehead shape. Most of the bone removal is done on the sides crossing the anterior temporal line as needed. This usually requires release of the superior attachments Read More…
Background: The shape of the forehead is well known to be gender-specific. Women usually prefer smooth convex foreheads with no obvious brow bone prominences. Conversely, men usually desire evidence of a brow bone with a break into the mid-forehead with a more retroclined shape into the upper forehead. While I have seen males and females Read More…
Craniotomies that involve the frontal and/or frontotemporal bones are commonly done for a variety of intracranial problems such as bleeding from trauma or for access to tumors. While the bone flap is put back into position using low profile plates and screws and the detached temporalis muscle resuspended, residual skull deformities are common. Frontal skull Read More…

Besides the length and width of the forehead, its other major aesthetic feature is its slope. (as most easily appreciated in the side view) This forehead feature is well known to be gender specific. Women have Read More…
Background: The desirable features and shape of the male forehead is well known. It consists of a brow bone prominence, a superior brow bone break and a smooth slightly convex shape of the upper forehead to the hairline. A wider or more square forehead shape is often seen as an asset as well. Some put Read More…
Background: The male forehead is uniquely different from that of females. It has more prominent brow bones, a well defined brow break and a forehead that has no more than 10 to 20 degree angulation backward into the frontal hairline superiorly. This is quite different from a female’s forehead which ideally has little to no Read More…
Forehead augmentation is done for a variety of aesthetic reasons including increasing the convexity and projection of the forehead. A forehead that slopes back too severely or lacks brow bone projection can be built up by an onlay or augmentative cranioplasty. This is always done with an alloplastic material rather than a bone graft Read More…
Background: A brow bone prominence is largely a male feature caused by a greater pneumatization (expansion of air cavity) of the frontal sinuses than in women. While female brow bones are relatively flat, most men will have some degree of prominence or ridging that creates a brow bone break as it ascends into the forehead. Read More…
