Surgical Procedure.

Frontoplasty is a surgical procedure performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, designed to address aesthetic or medical concerns in the frontal region of the skull. It involves precise incisions in the scalp to reposition tissues and bones, aiming to elevate the eyebrows, smooth out wrinkles, and achieve a rejuvenated facial appearance.

Why Choose to Have the Surgery?

Surgery is a recommended option for individuals between the ages of 40 and 60 who desire to correct elongated and disproportionate foreheads, enhance their appearance and self-esteem by addressing expression lines and natural signs of aging in the skin. This intervention is intended to deliver a more youthful and fresh appearance, contributing to individuals' improved self-perception.

Post-Operative Care

After surgery, dressings will be applied, which only the surgeon can remove. It is recommended to sleep with the head elevated at a 45-degree angle to reduce swelling. Ice packs should be alternated on the swollen area starting from the second day, and short walks with a companion are advisable. Gentle hair washing can be done on the third or fourth day, and it is crucial to apply adequate sunscreen to the treated area.

Our results

The effects of the surgery become apparent in the long term, resulting in smoother, wrinkle-free skin. It is important to note that over time, environmental factors, gravity, and the aging process can lead to the gradual reappearance of expression lines.

Common Questions About Frontoplasty

Discover All You Need to Know About Forehead Surgery

Two primary types of forehead surgery exist: Classic Frontoplasty and Endoscopic Frontoplasty. In Classic Frontoplasty, an incision is made in the scalp to manipulate the forehead tissues, achieving the necessary skin tightening. On the other hand, Endoscopic Frontoplasty utilizes an endoscope for direct visualization and involves small incisions in the muscles responsible for forehead expression lines.
Following surgery, it’s common to experience bruising and increased swelling, which may extend to the eyelids and even reach part of the cheeks. This swelling tends to be more pronounced during the first two days but gradually decreases afterward. It’s also normal to feel tightness in the skin and experience temporary decreased sensitivity in the treated area.
Ideal candidates are those looking to correct elongated and disproportionate foreheads. It’s crucial to schedule a consultation with Dr. Carlos Recio to determine if Frontoplasty is suitable for your individual needs.
Recovery varies from patient to patient but generally involves minimal downtime. It is advisable to follow the surgeon’s instructions for a successful recovery.
In general, Frontoplasty is performed using local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. This ensures the forehead area is numbed to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure. Intravenous sedation helps keep the patient relaxed and calm during surgery.
Unlike other procedures, Frontoplasty focuses specifically on reducing elongated foreheads. This procedure is designed to restore facial harmony and provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
