Forehead Implant Surgery in Bangalore | Dr. Rajendra Gujjalanavar
What Is Forehead Implant Surgery?
Why Do Patients Seek Forehead Implant Surgery?
A forehead implant addresses several aesthetic concerns:
- A flat or recessed forehead that lacks natural convexity
- Asymmetry or unevenness in the forehead contour
- Post-trauma or post-surgical forehead deformity correction
- Desire for a rounder, more youthful upper facial profile
- Transgender women seeking a more feminine forehead curvature (as part of FFS)
- Patients with a naturally narrow or sunken temporal (side) area
Forehead Implant: Procedure Steps
Dr. Rajendra performs forehead implant surgery as follows:
- Pre-operative 3D CT imaging and custom implant design tailored to the patient’s specific forehead anatomy.
- Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia through a small hairline incision (concealed within the scalp).
- A pocket is created over the frontal bone and the custom implant is positioned and secured.
- Layered closure of the incision — no visible scarring on the forehead.
- Procedure time: approximately 1 to 2 hours.
Types of Forehead Implants
Silicone Implants
Soft, cohesive silicone implants that mimic the natural feel of forehead tissue. Pre-shaped or custom-designed based on 3D imaging. Most commonly used.
Medpor (Porous Polyethylene) Implants
A porous material that allows tissue ingrowth for greater implant stability. Often used for reconstruction cases.
Fat Grafting (Non-implant option)
For minor forehead irregularities, fat transfer from another body area can be used as a less invasive alternative. Results may be less predictable than implants.
