What is Forehead Contouring?

Fat Transfer Augmentation

A patient’s own harvested fat is an excellent natural contouring filler. Liposuction of the lower abdomen or inner thighs provides the fat that is prepared and reinjected through tiny punctures usually in the hairline. Fat is well accepted but sometimes needs to be repeated if larger contouring is required.

Reduction by Frontal Bone Remodelling.

Using endoscopic techniques, the excess bone of the brow or forehead is sculpted using a burr. The access is via small incisions hidden in the hairline. There is minimal downtime, however temporary changes in forehead sensation can occur.

Brow Lifting

Low or downsloping outer brows can be resuspended by a direct lift (incision placed in the eyebrow, via an upper lid blepharoplasty incision or by hairline incisions in the temple or forehead. Fixation of the lifted brow is usually by permanent buried sutures. Surgical lifting gives a stronger change than botulinum injection.

What Our Patients Say

I had a very successful revision rhinoplasty.

The outcome is exactly as Mr East visually mocked up before the surgery.

I had a significantly deviated nose, septum and bones. Incredibly Mr East managed to address all of these issues. Though my surgery took many hours the work done in that time was exceptional.

After the surgery the swelling was pretty good. The entire recovery timeline went exactly as Mr East said it would. No surprises before or after surgery.

Despite my complex surgery costing a large amount I consider it good value because of the flawless outcome.
I'd recommend Mr East to anyone, especially if the surgery is complex.

Guy Tristram

My journey with Charles East has been absolutely extraordinary from the initial consultation to post operation.

Charles carefully examined my nose in great depth and explained the procedure carefully to put me at ease.

As a result of his expertise, my nose looks amazing and natural and most importantly it was incredible that no one noticed the change!

The decision to choose rhinoplasty with Charles was the best decision and I am relieved I do not have to inject filler in my nose ever again.

Thank you to Charles and his team.

Doctify

My experience with Charles East was wonderful throughout.

I came to him because I've had trouble with my breathing for a few years now, and getting my adenoids removed and straightening my septum ended up being a really straight-forward process and I felt like I was in the best hands possible.

Thank you to Charles and the whole team for helping me breathe again. Can't wait to catch up again soon!

Sonia Horgan

I had my revision rhinoplasty with Charles East and I am genuinely happy to a degree I never thought was possible.

His experience and knowledge was obvious from the first video consultation. I had made the mistake of having my first rhinoplasty done by a turkish surgeon who works in London and I stupidly believed his self proclaimed kingdom.

Charles East team are brilliant and caring, I was scared of going through another operation but I feel nothing buy relief and joy that I can now get past my turkish nightmare.

In wanting to save money I have had to pay twice.

Doctify

I had been researching Rhinoplasty options for some time, and I simply could not be happier that I chose Rhinoplasty London.

I immediately felt like I was in expert hands!

Dr Charles and Miss Badia both made sure I was 100% happy with my shape before we went forward, and explained every part of the procedure to me.

My experience on the day was first class and like clockwork, and after the surgery and recovery I felt like they were right alongside me – the follow up care and concern was just amazing and the daily updates really put me at ease.

I seriously could not be happier!

For anyone who wants an absolutely expert job please do not look further than Lydia and Charles!

Savannah Trejbal

I totally trusted the expertise of Charles East, knowing he would proceed professionally and he is detail oriented.

His 30 years experience really reassured me at first and finally made me at complete ease after our first face to face meeting.

I am thrilled with the results and delighted to recommend his clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Forehead Contouring?

Forehead contouring is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape the forehead by altering the bone structure for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. This procedure can smooth out bumps, reduce ridges, and modify the overall shape of the forehead to better match the patient’s facial features.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Forehead Contouring?

Good candidates for forehead contouring include individuals who are dissatisfied with the shape or contour of their forehead due to genetic traits, congenital conditions, or traumatic injuries. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes, and not have serious health conditions that could impair healing.

How Is the Forehead Contouring Procedure Performed?

Forehead contouring is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon may choose to use various techniques depending on the extent of reshaping needed, which might involve shaving off parts of the bone, adding bone cement, or reconstructing the bone structure. An incision is usually made along the hairline to minimise visible scarring.

What Is the Recovery Process Like After Forehead Contouring?

Recovery from forehead contouring surgery varies with the complexity of the procedure, but generally includes some swelling and bruising, which can last for several weeks. Patients often need to wear a head dressing for a couple of days and should avoid strenuous activities until cleared by the surgeon. Follow-up visits are crucial to monitor the healing process.

Are There Any Risks Associated With Forehead Contouring?

As with any surgical procedure, forehead contouring comes with potential risks and complications. These may include infection, bleeding, scarring, nerve damage, or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic results. Choosing a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon can help minimise these risks.
