Forehead Contouring in Iran

The forehead of men and women is too different in terms of shape and size. The men’s forehead has concavity and the hair growth line inside of the men’s face is higher. On the contrary, in women, the forehead is convex and its center is flat. The temple area is also different between men and women. Eyebrow bone in men is tubercle and this is normal. However, this form of eyebrow bone makes women look rough. Hence, people who have changed their gender want to change the shape of their foreheads in order to have a more feminine look. Forehead contouring is one of the most important ways to have a more feminine face and this can be done with surgery or without it.

Forehead Contouring  is done to solve the following problems:
1. The large bulge in the eyebrow area
2. The high slope of the forehead
3. Forehead roughness

Generally, changes in forehead’s shape contain reduction and maximizing the forehead and temples:

Standard or custom prostheses can be used for each patient. These prostheses are designed and fabricated for the patient using CT-scan data and 3D simulation programs. Then, through small incisions, they are placed in a suitable place in the middle of the forehead. The incisions made to implant custom implants are often smaller than the incisions used to replace standard prefabricated implants. Forehead augmentation with a prosthesis has permanent results.

Convexity of the brow’s bone mostly is due to the bone’s thickness and enlargement of the frontal sinuses in this area. In this method, the forehead’s bone is shaved and gets smaller in size but how much of the skull can be whittled depends on the size of the skull.

The surgeon creates a cut along the hairline and lifts the skin to have access to the forehead’s bone and then starts to whittle the bone or change its shape. In this method, three to five millimeters of the eyebrow’s bone can be cut.

If the bulge of the sinus bone is due to its thickness, the forehead can be greatly flattened by shaving the bone. Of course, this can be done if the sinus cavities are small. CT-scan can measure the bone thickness.

In this method, in addition to the reconstruction of the forehead bone, it is necessary to use bone cement to fill the middle part of the forehead.

In this way, a suitable slope for the forehead is obtained. Bone cement (PMMA or acrylic cement) and hydroxyapatite (HA) are a polymer compounds used as a substitute for bone tissue.

If the Brow area is Bulge and the sinus pores are large, not much of the sinus bone can be shaved. In this case, the sinus bone is shaved as much as possible and then the middle area of the forehead is filled with some bone cement.

In this way, the surface of the forehead is somewhat smooth, but it is not possible to completely smooth it with this method. For this reason, it is suitable for those whose Bulge area is not too high.

This method works when the sinus’s bone is thin and is not possible to shave it. In this surgery, in the beginning, the surgeon cuts the skin in the hairline area, removes the forehead’s bone from the skull, and then whittles and transfigures it. Artificial fillers will cover the surface of the bone to fill the probable concavities if needed.  Finally, the surgeon puts the bone in its own place accurately and tightens the bone by means of microplate and titanium screws.

The surgeon modifies the other bones in order to balance the forehead’s shape. Sometimes, complementary beauty operation is necessary such as eyebrow lifting.

These methods work for the people who are not interested in such surgeries and their forehead’s concavity is insignificant. Types of natural and synthesis injective fillers are so widespread and popular such as Hyaluronic acid (PA) and Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). In these methods, enough amounts of fillers inject under the skin in order to flatten inequalities.

The weakness of these methods is their short time effectiveness and must be extended. Some of these products last six months while some others last five years.

• The doctor analyzes the anatomy of the patient’s face and uses CT-Scan if it is necessary
• The doctor prescribes essentials tests and analyzes the outcome
• With the consultant of the doctor, a suitable method will be selected
• Before the surgery, the surgeon pulls the hairs aside in the same direction as the cut and tightens the hairs with hair gel

In deforming forehead surgeries, depending on the surgeon’s opinion, a method between general or local anesthesia will be selected.

There is no need to mark the forehead in this surgery. The surgeon pulls the hair aside and cuts the skin. The surgery takes two hours, although depending on the surgery’s complications, it may take longer.

Forehead Contouring is less offensive than the other methods; therefore, the surgery will be over within 2 hours.

Immediately after the forehead contouring, we witness huge inflation and bruises. After several days, their effects will be reduced.

It is necessary for most patients to stay at the hospital for the night after surgery. If the surgeon uses open surgery, it is necessary to use a particular bandage around the head for seven to ten days. This bandage reduces inflation and protects the head.

• It is possible for scars to leave traces (uncommon)
• Hair loss at the cutting spot
• Feeling paralyzed in the forehead or skull’s skin can be temporary or permanent
• The cutting spot is visible in some types of surgeries
• Liquid accumulation under the skin
• Causing damage to face nerves
• Bleeding and infection (poor probability)

• There is no need for a recovery period in non-surgery methods
• The patient must remove stitches within seven to ten days
• Depending on the type of the surgery, the patient can go to work within one or two weeks
• The patients should not exercise or do heavy activities, at least for six weeks
• The recovery period takes six to twelve weeks
• Patients should protect their heads for three months to recover perfectly

• Forehead’s change in non-surgery methods is observable immediately after the surgery but the inflation and bruises remain for weeks and patients must wait for several weeks to see the result with clarity. The change is not permanent in these methods and lasts for six months to five years.
• In surgery methods, patients need three months to recover and twelve months to see the result with clarity. These methods are permanent.
