Forehead Contouring
Forehead Contouring is a surgical procedure that reshapes the forehead to create a stronger, more defined, and distinctly masculine upper facial appearance. In the context of facial masculinization, it builds upon and enhances brow bone prominence — giving the forehead a more angular, projecting character that strengthens the overall facial profile.
Performed by Dr. Adibfar at Elements Toronto, this procedure is a key component of facial masculinization surgery. It is customized to the individual’s existing anatomy, skin, and goals.
The surgery is best performed once facial bones are fully developed. Dr. Adibfar accesses the forehead through an incision hidden behind the hairline, where the frontal bone and brow area can be augmented using custom implants or bone augmentation material to build the desired projection and contour.
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. Head elevation and cold compresses as directed will help minimize swelling.
- Week 1: Bruising and swelling begin to improve. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided.
- Weeks 1–2: Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and non-strenuous daily activities.
- Weeks 3–6: Swelling continues to resolve. Exercise may be gradually reintroduced once cleared by Dr. Adibfar.
- 3–6 months: Residual swelling diminishes and the augmented forehead contour becomes fully apparent. Final results continue to refine throughout this period.
Dr. Adibfar will provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor your healing closely throughout your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome.
