What are the benefits of forehead augmentation with silicone? Forehead Augmentation

Forehead Augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses silicone or medical materials to adjust the shape of the forehead to add dimension to the face. The main objective is to make the forehead look rounded, prominent, and in proportion to the rest of the face. This will help the bridge of the nose look more shapely and attractive. Forehead augmentation can be performed through surgery using specially molded silicone according to the patient’s skull structure (3D Customized Silicone Implant) or preformed silicone (Preform Silicone), which has standard sizes and forms.

Preparation before surgery.

1. Inform your doctor about your medical history to check your readiness, including the medications you take regularly because some medications affect your recovery after surgery.
2. Patients who have a history of taking blood thinning medications: and medications that affect blood clotting, painkillers, or other chronic medications should consult a doctor before surgery or inform the doctor before the surgery appointment date.

Prepare yourself mentally: Don’t be overly excited and be aware that after surgery, there will be swelling and bruising around the wound and changes in the face or area of ​​the body where the surgery was performed, which will take time for the wound to heal or for the body to adjust to the new image.

2. The anesthesiologist conducts a medical history assessment before proceeding with anesthesia.
3. Duration: The surgery typically lasts 1-3 hours, depending on the surgical plan.
