Is there any way to improve a flat forehead

If a person has regular facial features but a flat forehead, it would be a pity. In the past, how a person looked was destined and there was no way to change it. But now it is different. Medicine is so advanced that a flat forehead is no longer a problem. As long as some simple cosmetic surgeries are performed, the flat forehead can be effectively improved and the facial beauty can be instantly enhanced. Therefore, more and more beauty-loving friends are walking into the hospital and asking doctors to make improvements based on the flatness of their foreheads. So, what are the ways to improve a flat forehead? Let’s find out together.

Forehead augmentation with autologous fat

This surgery first extracts fat from the body's own thighs and waist where there is a lot of fat. The fat is then purified through a series of methods, and then the pure fat is injected into the forehead with a special syringe to create a round and beautiful forehead.

The advantages of this method are small trauma, quick recovery, small scars, low cost, and the use of the body's own materials will not cause allergic reactions. The effect is natural, there is no contour feeling of using a prosthesis, and the survival fat effect is permanent.

The disadvantage is that the survival of transplanted autologous fat is uncertain, with an absorption rate of approximately 30-70% (this data is inconsistent because it cannot be accurately measured), so 1-3 injections may be required to achieve satisfactory results.

In addition, I would like to add something about the absorption rate. The absorption rate of about 30-70% refers to 30-70% of the pure fat volume, not the 30-70% of the fullness you see after transplantation. The fullness of the forehead just after autologous fat augmentation is the result of multiple factors including transplanted fat particles, small area of ​​congestion and edema, and water content. This is not true.

Forehead augmentation with hyaluronic acid injection

The advantages of this method are small trauma, little pain, repeated injections, and short operation time (the operation can be performed after local anesthetic application, and no care is required after the operation, so it is also hyped as lunch break beauty).

The disadvantage is that the effect of hyaluronic acid is temporary and reversible, and the duration of hyaluronic acid with different degrees of cross-linking is different. Generally, in order to maintain the effect, hyaluronic acid needs to be injected 2-3 times a year. In addition, forehead augmentation requires a large amount of hyaluronic acid injections, which is expensive. Generally speaking, mild filling requires about 2-4 ml of hyaluronic acid (a hyaluronic acid vial is 1 ml), so for larger areas of facial filling, I generally recommend choosing autologous fat.
