Background: Plagiocephaly, or cranioscoliosis, affects the entire shape of the skull in a very predictable way. Depending upon the rotation of the developing head on a vertical axis (clockwise vs counter clockwise) the flat side of the back of the head creates protrusion on the same side on the front of the head. (forehead) Most Read More…
Background: The size and appearance of the forehead is heavily influenced by the location of the surrounding hairline, particularly the frontal portion of it. Frontal hairlines that are high, as in patients that have a long forehead, are common aesthetic concerns. Soft tissue forehead reduction or lowering of the frontal hairline can be done by Read More…
Background: Forehead reductions can consist of bony and soft tissue procedures. When vertical forehead reduction is desired this implies that the length of the forehead is too high. The number 6.5cms of vertical forehead length is often quoted as being the upper aesthetic limit of forehead length for females. To shorten this distance a frontal Read More…
Background: The forehead is prone to contour irregularities from depressions to protrusions. In the upper forehead the most common contour deformity is that of forehead horns. It has this name because it typically occurs as paired circular protrusions. Their origins are developmental as the forehead develops from a pair of frontal eminences (tuber frontale) which Read More…

To do such forehead reduction requires either hair transplantation or the frontal hairline advancement procedure. There are advantages and disadvantages to either approach and neither one is an ideal solution to every patient. Read More…
Background: There are multiple hard and soft tissue reduction procedures that can be done to the forehead. Bony reductions include such prominences as frontal bossing and forehead horn reduction to name some of the most commonly done. The only soft tissue forehead reduction procedure is a frontal hairline advancement. Each one of these forehead reduction Read More…
Background: The most visible dimension of the forehead is its vertical length. This perception is completely controlled by the location of the hairline which varies greatly amongst men and women. The edge of the frontal hairline can be changed in certain patients who have a good hairline density along the frontal edge and if it Read More…
Background: The forehead occupies up to one-third of the face and is largely devoid of many discerning features. Short of the eyebrows/brow bones at its lower end, the characteristics of the forehead are mainly influenced by the aging effects of the overlying skin (wrinkles) and the location of the frontal and temporal hairlines. The large Read More…
Osteomas are benign bony tumors of the skull that are relatively common, occurring in up to 10% of the population. The most common osteoma is the peripheral type which emanates from the outer surface of the skull. They develop through centrifugal growth from the periosteum with trauma and vessel bleeding being the most recognized cause. Read More…
