Best Candidates for Forehead Augmentation

1. Individuals with Recessed or Flat Foreheads

Patients with flat or under-projected foreheads may benefit from forehead augmentation. This procedure adds volume and smooths the contours, creating a balanced, youthful appearance. Candidates should have sufficient tissue quality or be suitable for fat grafting, implants, or bone contouring techniques.

2. Patients with Excessively High Foreheads

Those concerned about forehead height may be suitable for forehead reduction. By lowering the hairline and performing hairline enhancement, the procedure shortens the vertical dimension of the forehead and restores facial proportion. Ideal candidates are adults with fully developed facial features who desire a more harmonious hairline and forehead height.

3. Individuals Seeking Facial Symmetry and Balance

Forehead surgery is often performed to achieve overall facial balance. Candidates seeking natural improvements in forehead shape, projection, or hairline position are well-suited for forehead augmentation, forehead reduction, or a combination with hairline enhancement.

4. Patients in Good General Health

Candidates must be in overall good health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. Being healthy ensures safer surgery, faster healing, and optimal outcomes for forehead augmentation or forehead reduction procedures.

5. Adults with Realistic Expectations

Ideal candidates understand the limitations and capabilities of forehead surgery. Those with realistic expectations about the outcomes of forehead augmentation, forehead reduction, and hairline enhancement are more satisfied with the results.
