Background: There are a wide variety of shape deformations that can occur in the forehead. Most of these are caused or influenced by some congenital or developmental influence on the frontal bone forms. Bump, lumps, prominences, flatness and asymmetries are how they present which are readily apparent give the very visible and broad surface of Read More…
Background: The forehead occupies a full third of the human face and sometimes than that based on the location of the frontal hairline. While the forehead does not draw one’s attention, like the lower two-thirds of the face due to the sphincteric motion of the eyes and mouth, its broad surface can not be overlooked. Read More…
Background: Reconstruction of the forehead is very different than aesthetic forehead augmentation. By definition reconstruction is required when a portion of the bony forehead has sustained a full-thickness bone loss. This most commonly occurs due to either trauma or the loss of a craniotomy flap after intracranial tumor surgery. When rebuilding the forehead that has Read More…
Background: Many well known congenital skull deformities (craniosynostoses) are treated by early surgery, usually under one year of age. While this allows the developing brain more space to grow and have it help shape the overlying skull, the final shape of the skull is rarely ideally normal. Scar, growth potential and genetics all play a Read More…
Background: Osteomas are the most common bony tumor of the craniofacial skeleton. They are benign bone growth that is typically seen growing on another piece of bone. They appear as an outcropping or ‘mushroom’ of slowly growing bone and are easily disinguishable by appearing as a hard bump on an otherwise smooth bone surface. Read More…
Background: The shape of the frontal skull bone known as forehead is an important aesthetic facial feature. Since the forehead occupies one-third of the visible face it is not surprising that it has significant aesthetic value even though it seems like it is just a flat a amorphous structure. In reality there are very distinct Read More…
Background: The shape of the forehead is affected by various hard and soft tissue components. The forehead is framed by the hairline superiorly, the brows inferiorly and the bony temporal lines to the sides. The projection of the forehead is controlled by the thickness of the frontal bone and its degree of convexity and smothness. Read More…
One of the many important areas to change in facial feminization surgery (FFS) is that of the forehead. The typical male forehead has a prominent brow bone, a visible brow bone break into the upper forehead and a central forehead area that is often flat or even slopes backward to some degree. This is 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…
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…
