Beautiful Face, Forehead Contouring

Beautiful Face, Forehead Contouring

Forehead contouring is to transform a depressed, flat, small or big forehead 

into a beautiful shape.

There are several different types of forehead 

so it is important that each patient should check 

which surgical method would be proper.

Key Points of Forehead Contouring

① The distance between hairline and eyebrows 

should be the same as the distance between eyebrows and the nose tip. 

② Smooth round contour in profile

③ Round and full

④ Should not be partially depressed or elevated. 

⑤ Smooth curve on each side of the forehead

Depressed Forehead

A generally depressed forehead emphasizes eyebrow bones resulting in a masculine appearance. A partially  depressed forehead looks asymmetric. These conditions may be corrected by filling up the depressed areas.

Large Forehead

Creating a concave can make large forehead look smaller.

Flat Forehead

Such condition as flat forehead requires more volume in general.

Narrow Forehead

Slightly exaggerated concave on the forehead can create enlarged appearance.

 Surgical Methods of Forehead Contouring

It is a surgical method of adding volume to the general area of forehead by inserting a silicone implant which is customized to fit each individual’s forehead shape.

* Forehead attains more defined looks.
