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…
The location of the frontal hairline in both men and women is genetically determined. It serves as the determinant of the upper third of the face which is defined as between the eyebrows and the frontal hairline. The frontal hairline has any different patterns from a widow’s peak in the middle to varying degrees of 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 well known proportions of the face are based on horizontal thirds ratios between the upper, mid- and lower face. The forehead or upper third of the face is the easiest to see and assess because it lacks any features other than the eyebrows at its inferior edge. Thus when the forehead is out Read More…
Vertical forehead reduction is a soft tissue forehead reshaping procedure that shortens the distance between the frontal hairline and the eyebrows.

It also needs to do so without causing substantial brow elevation (unless that is desired) as well as prevention of Read More…

The contour of the forehead is controlled by the shape of the underlying bone centrally and the temporal muscles laterally which can be modified by either augmentation or reduction. The vertical length of the forehead, however, is controlled by the soft tissue landmarks of the frontal Read More…
Background: The forehead is a seemingly blank canvas with a wide expanse of skin devoid of any central features. But the shape of the forehead is actually much more complex than it looks and has more anatomic features than how it appears on a cursory glance. It is boarded superiorly by the frontal hairline, to Read More…
The vertical height of the upper face (forehead) is classically known as being one-third of the total vertical height of the face. While a long forehead skin distance is described as greater than 10mm of the mid facial height or more than 6.5cms between the eyebrows and the hairline, in the end all that matters Read More…
Background: The forehead occupies a full one-third of the face’s surface area. Its borders are the hair-bearing areas of the frontal hairline superiorly, the eyebrows inferiorly and the temporal hairline laterally. The frontal hairline determines the vertical length of the forehead. The eyebrows provide facial expression and create a emotional appearance. The forehead bone determines Read More…
One determinant of a good facial appearance is balanced facial thirds. Ideally the face is divided into vertical thirds of which are equal in proportion. The upper third of the face is the forehead whose height is determined by the visible skin surface between the frontal hairline and the eyebrows. Given its open skin surface Read More…
