Forehead Implant Surgery in Bangalore
At De Aesthetikos, Bangalore, forehead implant surgery is planned according to each patient’s facial anatomy, forehead shape and aesthetic goals. Dr. Rajendra’s approach includes 3D CT imaging and custom implant design to help create an implant suited to the patient’s forehead contour.
What Is Forehead Implant Surgery?
Forehead Implant surgery, also called forehead augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a custom-shaped silicone or medpor implant to add volume and curvature to a flat, recessed, or uneven forehead. The goal is to create a smooth, naturally convex forehead that enhances the upper facial frame and achieves a more balanced profile.
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.
