Brow Bone Contouring
Brow Bone Contouring is a surgical procedure that reduces and reshapes the prominent bony ridge above the eyes (brow bossing) to create a smoother, flatter, and more refined forehead appearance. It softens strong facial features and enhances overall upper facial harmony.
Performed by Dr. Adibfar at Elements Toronto, this procedure is commonly requested as part of facial feminization surgery but can also be performed to achieve a more balanced and less angular forehead contour.
The surgery is best performed once facial bones are fully developed. Dr. Adibfar accesses the brow bone through carefully placed incisions hidden behind the hairline (coronal or pretrichial approach). The underlying bone is meticulously contoured to achieve a natural, refined result while preserving facial balance.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery varies from patient to patient, but the following timeline provides a general guideline:
- First 48–72 hours: Swelling and mild discomfort are expected. Keeping the head elevated and applying cold compresses as directed can help minimize swelling.
- Week 1: Bruising and swelling begin to improve. Patients should avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting during this period.
- Weeks 1–2: Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and other non-strenuous daily activities, depending on the extent of the procedure and the nature of their occupation.
- Weeks 3–6: Swelling continues to resolve, and patients may gradually resume exercise and more vigorous activities once cleared by Dr. Adibfar.
- 3–6 months: Residual swelling continues to diminish, revealing a smoother, more refined forehead contour. The final results become increasingly apparent as healing progresses.
Dr. Adibfar will provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor your healing closely throughout your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome.
