What is Frontoplasty surgery?
Frontoplasty is a surgical intervention that focuses on the frontal region of the face. Its primary goal is to reduce the length of the forehead. This procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other aesthetic surgeries, such as facelift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), to achieve a harmonious and balanced result.
Benefits of Frontoplasty procedure
Facial Rejuvenation: Frontoplasty helps restore a younger appearance by reducing the high of the forehead and harmonizing the hole face
Improved Self-Esteem: Many patients experience a significant boost in confidence after the procedure, as they feel more satisfied with their appearance.
Long-Lasting Results: Although aging is an ongoing process, the results of frontoplasty can last for several years, providing patients with a noticeable improvement in their facial aesthetics.
Personalized Procedure: Every patient is unique, so the surgical approach is tailored to individual needs, ensuring optimal results.
Frontoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The plastic surgeon will make strategic incisions, which may be located in the scalp or along the hairline to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, the skin will be reduced and underlying muscles will be adjusted to achieve the desired effect.
Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but many can return to their daily activities within a week. It is essential to follow post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
- It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for a minimum of 6 weeks after surgery.
- For the scar specifically, it is advised to protect it from the sun for the first 6 months after surgery.
- During this time, when outdoors, even on cloudy days, it is crucial to use a high-spectrum sunscreen to protect the sensitive skin and healing incisions.
- It is recommended to limit sun exposure for several months after surgery.
- After the first 6 months, you should continue to protect the scar with SPF 50 or higher sunscreen if exposed to the sun.
Direct sun exposure should be avoided for a minimum of 6 weeks, but it is advisable to protect the operated area and especially the scar for at least 6 months. Even after this period, it is recommended to continue using high-factor sun protection in the area to maintain the best long-term results.
