FOREHEAD AUGMENTATION IN BANGKOK, THAILAND
WHAT IS FOREHEAD AUGMENTATION?
The forehead defines the upper part of your face. In most societies, a well-defined forehead is associated with refinement, mental stability, intelligence, and even wealth.
Perhaps it comes as no surprise that a flat or concave forehead can make people feel insecure and self-conscious about their appearance.
Forehead augmentation, also known as forehead contouring surgery, is a surgical procedure performed with the aim of enhancing the shape and volume of the forehead. Suitable candidates for forehead augmentation surgery include men and women in good general health who have either a naturally flat or concave forehead or a narrow forehead due to a low hairline.
SURGERY
Forehead augmentation surgery can be performed either
via an autologous fat graft or by using a synthetic implant.
Using Silicone Implants
Using Fat Transfer
Forehead Augmentation Using Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are recommended for patients who are unhappy with their current forehead shape and wish to have a larger degree of augmentation performed.
The surgery is normally performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make a small incision (1-2 cm) at the hairline in order to create space for the customized implant that has been prepared beforehand. The implant is then fitted over the frontal bone to reinforce the arc and curvature of the forehead.
The incision will be closed using medical staples. Forehead implant surgery is a very safe procedure that produces stable and predictable results to give the patient an aesthetically pleasing and smooth overall facial appearance.
Forehead Augmentation Using Fat Transfer
Forehead augmentation can also be performed using the patient’s own body fat instead of implants. This is typically recommended for patients who only wish to add a small amount of volume to their forehead.
Instead of general anesthesia, this type of surgery can be performed using IV sedation with local sedation and possibly a regional nerve block.
The process of fat grafting is very similar to any other surgery involving fat injections and has three steps:
First, the surgeon will remove a small amount of fat tissue from another part of your body. Typical donor sites include the buttocks, the thighs, or the abdomen.
The surgeon will then purify the fat tissue using a process known as centrifugation.
Finally, the surgeon will inject the purified fat into the area being treated. These typically include the hairline, the center of the forehead, and the lower forehead near the top of the nasal bridge.
Forehead augmentation using fat transfer provides a very effective and safe method for forehead augmentation with long-lasting results.
