Forehead Contouring
Forehead Contouring is a surgical procedure that reshapes and smooths the forehead and brow bone area to create a softer, more balanced, and often more feminine upper facial appearance. It reduces prominent brow bossing and can meaningfully improve the overall harmony of the face and eye region.
Performed by Dr. Adibfar at Elements Toronto, this procedure is commonly requested as part of facial feminization surgery but is equally suited to anyone seeking a less angular or more refined forehead.
The surgery is performed once facial bones are fully developed. Dr. Adibfar accesses the area through an incision hidden behind the hairline, carefully contouring and reducing the brow bone and frontal bone as needed. In some cases, management of the frontal sinus is incorporated to achieve a smooth, natural result.
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 to be expected. Keeping the head elevated and applying cold compresses as directed will help minimize swelling.
- Week 1: Bruising and swelling begin to improve. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided during this period.
- Weeks 1–2: Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and non-strenuous daily activities, depending on the nature of their occupation.
- Weeks 3–6: Swelling continues to resolve. Exercise and more vigorous activities may be gradually resumed once cleared by Dr. Adibfar.
- 3–6 months: Residual swelling continues to diminish, revealing a smoother, more refined forehead contour. 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
