Forehead Bone Contouring Surgery

 

681. Forehead Bone Contouring Surgery

Forehead bone contouring enhances the aesthetic contour of the upper face. It includes forehead augmentation, which adds volume to flat or sunken areas to create a smooth, curved profile—and forehead reduction, which reshapes overly prominent, asymmetric, or uneven forehead bones.

For augmentation, both autologous (your own tissue) and artificial materials can be used. The most common autologous option is fat grafting, while artificial options include PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) implants. These are strong, biocompatible materials created using 3D printing and sterilized before being inserted through a scalp incision as a customized implant.

For reduction, a CT scan checks bone thickness to assess if safe reshaping is possible. If the frontal bone is too thin or brain protection could be compromised, surgery may not be viable.

Incisions are usually made along or 2cm behind the hairline, allowing access to the frontal bone while keeping scars hidden. However, inserting implants or reducing bone can stretch or affect nerves (like the supraorbital and supratrochlear), leading to temporary or permanent sensory changes in the forehead or scalp.

Forehead reduction may also lead to skin sagging or eyebrow drooping due to reduced skin elasticity—making the face look older. To counter this, forehead shortening techniques similar to a lift may be combined for a more youthful appearance.

To reduce the risk of infection from implants:

• Sleep deeply and regularly (10PM–3AM is critical for melatonin & detox).

• Avoid shift work if possible before and after surgery.

• Eat clean—limit processed foods and additives that may trigger chronic inflammation.

• Sweat regularly through exercise to help the body eliminate waste.

A healthy lifestyle = longer-lasting, more stable results.

Forehead bone contouring refines the upper facial structure both aesthetically and harmoniously.
