Los Angeles Forehead Contouring | West Hollywood Forehead Plastic Surgery

A masculine forehead is often defined by prominent brow bossing, a wider shape, and a steeper slope from the forehead to the nose. Forehead contouring surgery can create a smoother, more feminine forehead by reducing the brow ridge and reshaping the surrounding bone structure. Although this procedure is often part of facial feminization surgery, it is also sought by men and women with naturally prominent features who want to soften their appearance.

REASONS TO UNDERGO THIS PROCEDURE

People undergo forehead contouring to achieve a more a feminine facial profile, but that does not mean that this procedure is only for men. Women can have overtly masculine features as well, and they can detract from the femininity of the face. These features can be a strong jawline, a shorter forehead, or a prominent brow ridge. Forehead contouring is usually done as part of facial feminization surgery, but it can also be performed to correct the following:

FOREHEAD CONTOURING PROCEDURE

With forehead contouring, having a plastic surgeon who specializes in reconstructive head and neck surgeries is ideal. This region of the body has a very complex anatomy and requires extensive training to perform the correct surgical augmentations and produce the desired results. To understand how forehead contouring can change your facial profile, here are the key differences between a masculine and feminine forehead:

Brow Bossing

The primary characteristic of a masculine forehead is the protruding ridge of bone above the eye sockets, which is called a “brow ridge” or “brow bossing.”

Flat Spot

Masculine foreheads often have a flat spot that’s visible between the ridges of their two eye sockets.

Slope of the Forehead

Due to the brow ridge, a masculine forehead appears steeper and has a sharper angle between the nose and the forehead in a lateral view.

Everyone has their own specific goals for undergoing forehead contouring, which is why the procedure usually varies between patients. But generally, it involves reshaping the hairline, forehead bones, brow ridge, and the bones around the eye sockets to promote a more feminine appearance.

The procedure typically begins with a precise incision at the hairline or just behind it to access the bone structure underneath. Dr. Sedgh will then reconstruct and reshape the brow bone and other structural components of the brow and forehead until the desired result is achieved.

Gaps or indentations in the area may also be smoothed out with “bone paste” (harvested from discarded bone) or a biologically-compatible synthetic material, which will be used to fill the concavities. Once everything is in place, Dr. Sedgh will close the incision with strategically-placed sutures to minimize visible scarring.
