What are the classifications of forehead plastic surgery?
1. Sunken Temples
Sunken temples can make the cheekbones appear relatively prominent, disrupting facial harmony. If the cheekbones are significantly prominent, correction can be achieved through cheekbone reduction surgery. For isolated temple hollows, appropriate augmentation yields more ideal results.
2. Excessively Wide Forehead
A wide forehead can make one appear older and affect facial aesthetics. In such cases, an incision is made along the hairline. Excess forehead skin is excised, and the hair-bearing scalp from the rear is pulled forward and sutured to narrow the forehead. Alternatively, hair transplantation can be performed in front of the hairline to correct excessive width.
3. Flat Forehead
For unilateral flatness, fill the depression with fat grafting. For overall flatness and concavity, use artificial bone grafting to restore fullness. The specific forehead reshaping technique involves making an incision within the hairline above the forehead. Dissection proceeds from the scalp incision line up to the eyebrow area. After separating the forehead skin and muscles from the frontal bone, artificial bone is used to fill the flat forehead.This forehead augmentation procedure can be performed independently or combined with forehead wrinkle reduction or cheekbone reduction surgery to maximize results.
4. An excessively narrow forehead creates a gloomy appearance and facial imbalance, giving an unpleasant impression.
To fundamentally address a narrow forehead, surgery is required. This involves making an incision within the hairline, separating the forehead skin and muscles from the frontal bone, and then pulling the forehead skin backward to widen the forehead. This forehead reshaping procedure has the dual effect of eliminating forehead wrinkles. Post-operative scars are confined within the hairline and are not easily noticeable.
