Frontoplasty: expert explains forehead reduction surgery –

Linn da Quebrada recently published a photo showing that she had undergone some procedures, including a forehead lift, which aims to reduce the size of her forehead.

HOW IT IS MADE

According to the anesthesiologist and trichologist, specialist in transplantation and capillary medicine, doctor Ronaldo Borges, it’s about It is still an uncommon procedure in Brazil, but it has been gaining strength in recent years. “In this surgery, an incision is made around the ears that extends to the hairline. Another two incisions are made in parallel on the sides of the head, up to the back of the scalp”, explains the professional.

The result of the scar will be on the hairline and is more or less apparent, according to the scarring reaction that varies from person to person.

RECOVERY

Swelling and bruising may appear during the first few days after the procedure. Recovery takes about a week.

“We have to keep in mind that a good evaluation between the trusted professional and the patient is essential for the success of the procedures. Preoperative exams are necessary to assess all physical conditions. So the tip is to look for a trained and reliable professional to perform the forehead reduction, concludes Dr. Ronaldo.

ALTERNATIVE

For those who want a less invasive surgery, hair transplantation is the solution, considering the cuts, the scar and the recovery time.

According to the trichologist, strands of hair are added to the top of the forehead, making it appear smaller. “In this situation, we must exclude the clinical causes, start the treatment and then perform the hair transplant, always associating it with complementary treatments to improve the volume and quality of the hair”, emphasizes Dr. Ronaldo.

Recovery includes small scabs with small hairs in the implanted region, which will fall off within 15 days after surgery.

During this stage it is possible to disguise them with the use of caps or scarves. After three months, the hair starts to grow in the transplanted region in a normal and constant way.
