Forehead Contouring
Forehead contouring procedures are advancements in aesthetic surgery to create a more feminine ‘look’ to people’s masculine facial profiles. The process is not only for men. Women can also undergo forehead and chin contouring procedures that enhance the feminity of the face. Masculine foreheads are broader in shape with heavy brow ridge and broader brow ridge. Forehead contouring gives a more expansive and smoother forehead and can be performed along with hairline restoration and brow lifting techniques, it’s a popular procedure for transgender people. Forehead contouring surgery helps correct the heavy brow ridge, more sweeping and sloping forehead, and bumping and uneven protrusions—forehead contouring results in a smoother and softer facial profile with a balanced facial symmetry.

Biologically synthetic materials or bone paste are used to smooth out the gaps and indentations of the forehead. The same process can also fill out concavities. The process encompasses reshaping the hairline, forehead bones, brow ridge, and bones around eye sockets. Reconstruction and reshaping continue at brow bone and other forehead structural features until the desired results are obtained.
