A broad forehead structure can be an aesthetic issue that negatively affects facial proportions for many people. For this reason, forehead reduction surgery has become quite popular among both women and men in recent years. So, is forehead reduction surgery harmful? What should be known about the risks, advantages, and recovery process of this operation?
What is Forehead Reduction Surgery?
Forehead reduction surgery is a surgical procedure that shortens and balances the forehead by moving the hairline forward. This operation is generally performed on individuals who are dissatisfied with the width of their forehead, do not suffer from hair loss, and wish to balance their facial proportions.
How is the operation performed?
The procedure is performed under local or general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes a fine incision along the hairline and carefully pulls the skin tissue forward. After excess skin is removed, the scalp is repositioned. The procedure takes approximately 1.5–2 hours, and the patient can be discharged on the same day.
Alın Küçültme Ameliyatı Zararlı mı?
Her cerrahi işlemde olduğu gibi alın küçültme ameliyatının da bazı riskleri vardır, ancak bu riskler genellikle tecrübeli bir estetik cerrah tarafından yapıldığında oldukça düşüktür
Olası Riskler:
*Hafif şişlik, morluk ve uyuşma hissi
*Geçici saç dökülmesi (şok dökülme)
*Kesi hattında hafif iz kalma ihtimali
*Nadir durumlarda enfeksiyon
Bu riskler genellikle doğru cerrah seçimi ve ameliyat sonrası bakım talimatlarına uyum ile minimuma indirilebilir.
Ameliyatın Avantajları
- Yüz orantısının daha dengeli görünmesi
- Alın genişliğinin kalıcı olarak küçülmesi
- Saç çizgisinin doğal bir şekilde öne alınması
- Increased self-confidence and a noticeable improvement in aesthetic appearance
Recovery Process
The recovery process is usually completed within 7–10 days. During this process:
- The stitches will be removed within a week.
- Swelling and bruising will subside over time.
- Your hair will return to normal within a few weeks.
Following your surgeon's recommended aftercare routine minimises the risk of scarring and promotes faster healing.
Who is it not suitable for?
In the following circumstances, a forehead reduction operation may not be recommended:
- Individuals with advanced hair loss or a tendency towards baldness
- Individuals with low skin elasticity
- Individuals who are not suitable for surgery due to chronic health problems
Conclusion: Not harmful, but requires a conscious decision
Forehead reduction surgery is not a harmful procedure when performed by skilled hands. On the contrary, it is a safe aesthetic procedure that improves facial proportions and boosts a person's self-confidence. However, a detailed examination before surgery, choosing the right surgeon, and having realistic expectations are of great importance.
