The forehead makes up about one third of the face. Although most people do not pay much attention to the shape of their forehead, its size and overall shape have an effect on the appearance and beauty of the face. Forehead reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that can help reduce the height of your forehead. The main reason for long foreheads depends on genetic issues or hair loss. This surgical procedure, also known as hairline reduction surgery, can help balance your facial features. It is also important to mention that this is different from the eyebrow and forehead lift method. With the help of forehead contouring surgery, the overall shape of the face can be changed. But the changes do not stop here. When you are satisfied with your appearance, your self-confidence increases. Forehead surgery is suitable for those who feel that the shape of their forehead is out of proportion with the rest of their face, often due to a “too masculine” appearance or the forehead being too large in relation to the nose, eyes, mouth, cheeks and jaw.
The foreheads of men and women are very different in terms of appearance, and the shape of the forehead has an effect on whether a person’s face looks masculine or feminine. The uppermost part of the forehead is defined by the hairline, which is very different in terms of whether it is flat or prominent, as well as the position in men and women.
Men’s foreheads are more prominent than women’s and have a greater slope. Generally, the hair growth line on both sides of the forehead in men is behind the hair growth line of women in these areas. Usually, the eyebrow arch in men is very distinct and prominent, which gives their face a masculine appearance. An overly prominent brow arch may make a person appear harsh or unkind. Women’s foreheads are generally round and flat in the center. There are almost no prominent areas in them. Women’s foreheads are more flat and vertical than more prominent. On the sides of the forehead, the arch of the eyebrows slowly narrows towards the temples, unlike men’s foreheads, which are more square and square on both sides.
Small forehead deformities are often fixed using PMM bone cement or acrylic cement and HA hydroxyapatite cement. But for more volume, implant implantation is used. For this, they may use standard implants, or a customized implant may be made for the patient. Custom implants are made based on the information obtained from the patient’s CT scan and are designed in such a way that it fits perfectly with the patient’s anatomy and creates exactly the desired volume and design. Smaller surgical incisions can often be used to place custom implants than standard prefabricated implants.
The severity of forehead protrusion can be reduced by trimming the forehead bone, but how much the forehead bone can be trimmed depends on the thickness of the skull bone. The high prominence of the arch of the eyebrows is often due to the large thickness of the bone in this area, in addition to the size of the frontal sinuses. Reduction of the eyebrow arch may be achieved only by burning the eyebrow arch or, in addition, by trimming the frontal sinus wall. In most forehead and eyebrow surgeries, it is necessary to make an incision in the scalp to get the best results. Sometimes endoscopic methods or upper eyelid incisions can also be used.
Sunken or hollow temples are usually due to insufficient development of the temporalis muscle. In some people, this state exists naturally, but in some people, this state occurs after losing weight or suffering from some autoimmune diseases or after nerve surgeries. To treat this problem, temple implant methods, fat injection and skin fillers are used.
Prominent temples on both sides of the head may be more difficult to treat. Because the skull bone in this area is very thin, and for this reason, it is not possible to reduce the volume of the temple by trimming it. Many cases of bulging temples occur due to overgrowth of the temporalis muscle. Botox injections or volume reduction surgery are used to reduce the volume of the temporal muscle.
Patients should not take aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen two weeks before the operation. These drugs increase the risk of bleeding after surgery and have a negative effect on bruising. If the patient smokes, he must stop smoking from two weeks before the operation to one week after. Smoking reduces the blood flow in the skin and may prevent the healing of wounds. Patients cannot return home alone after surgery and it is necessary to ask someone to take them home after surgery and help them at home for a few days.
Complications of this surgery are rare and usually minor, but complications are still possible. One of the rare side effects is leaving a large scar after surgery. If this happens, the scar tissue can be reduced with surgery, in which case a new scar may be created that is smaller than the previous one. Some patients may also experience hair loss along the edges of their surgical scars. Occasionally, some hair loss can be seen in the area of ​​surgical incisions, although this will improve over time. Some patients may lose sensation in the scalp or forehead. This condition is usually temporary, but may be permanent in some patients. Although infection and bleeding are rare, they are not impossible.
Nandertal forehead surgery is performed with anesthesia and open surgery, and in this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the place of hair growth or inside the hair so that it passes through the forehead tissue and then reaches the bone tissue of the forehead. Then, it is corrected by shaving the prominent area of ​​the forehead, and if there is a depression in the forehead, it is also corrected. The duration of this surgery is 2 and a half to three hours. People in 20 years old and above can use this surgical method.
Slight swelling and bruising on the forehead is common after surgery. In order to reduce this problem, after the surgery, the patient is made to sit flat and the patient should use 2 or 3 pillows for sleeping in the first few days. During the first week, the patient should avoid strenuous activities and bending, as this will increase the swelling. The stitches or threads used to close the incisions are removed after one week. No blow should be applied to the forehead until three months after the operation. By that time, the patient has probably fully recovered and the final results have been determined. With a relatively simple surgery, surgeons can make significant changes in the appearance of patients, which will increase their self-confidence and satisfaction.

In most normal people, the hair growth line is uneven, but its unevenness does not attract much attention, so it does not need to be corrected at all. It reduced, but it is not possible to completely correct non-alignment.
Almost all people whose upper face is wide due to the long distance from the hair line to the end of the eyebrows also have a long forehead. Therefore, at the same time as contouring the forehead, the surgeon can also reduce the width of the upper part of the forehead.
Sometimes, at the same time as there is a bulge in the forehead area, the upper part of the forehead has been pulled back so much that those parts have taken on a hollow and sunken state. This depression is so great that even with the complete correction of the forehead ridge; the uneven and curved forehead will still be maintained. This condition is seen in acute cases of forehead protrusion, and the surgeon can use a prosthesis to fill the depression or remove the depression through fat injection (which is removed from the natural tissues of the person’s body). In this way, the client’s forehead is corrected in the best way.
Forehead bump removal surgery is a surgery that is performed to reduce the prominent or masculine appearance of the forehead (or Nandertal forehead). The forehead is one of the main characteristics of the face, which can look masculine or feminine depending on its shape and size. For example, men’s foreheads usually have a large and bony edge, which is called “Brow bossing”. Whereas women’s foreheads are usually smoother and smoother and do not have raised edges. In forehead bump removal surgery, these bumps are smoothed and the shape of the forehead bump is modified in such a way that it looks softer and more feminine.
Complications that may occur after prominent and Neanderthal forehead surgery are part of the treatment process. Bruising and swelling in the forehead area, pain, bleeding, etc. will disappear after a while. Of course, numbness may also occur in this area, which will eventually disappear after a few months. In most cases, the skin incision and suture are placed below the hairline and will disappear after some time.
