Forehead reduction surgery is a surgical operation frequently preferred by patients who are uncomfortable with the existing forehead width due to hair loss or genetic factors.
In forehead reduction surgery, the location of the hairline is changed and the excess skin is removed from the area. As a result of the surgery, the patient has a forehead area appearance suitable for the golden ratio of the face.
The forehead narrowing operation, which takes about 2 hours under general anaesthesia, is performed with the help of an incision along the hairline. The hairline is repositioned and the excess skin on the forehead is removed.
At the end of the operation, the incision is closed with the help of its own dissolvable sutures. In the forehead narrowing operation, the stitches can be easily camouflaged because they are close to the hairline.
FIRST 1 WEEK:
In the first few days after the forehead reduction operation, the patient should avoid activities that will tire him/herself and pay attention to sleep on his/her back. It is quite normal to observe swelling and pain in this process. At the end of the 1st week, the oedema decreases and the area starts to heal.
DAY 7-10:
The patient can return home if living abroad after the last controls performed. After the 10th day, he/she can return to life practices and business life that will not tire himself/herself. The area should be protected from direct contact with sun rays and impacts.
1ST MONTH
In the first month after the forehead reduction operation, swelling and oedema continue to decrease. The patient transmits his/her visuals to the health representative at regular intervals and is checked by his/her doctor. In this way, the healing process is followed. The doctor may have medication or cream recommendations. It is very important to follow these recommendations.
3-6TH MONTH :
In the 3-6th month of the forehead narrowing operation, the healing process is largely completed, although it has not yet ended. Regular controls of the patient are continued with online interviews. It is very important to follow the doctor's recommendations and directions.
1 YEAR:
Although it varies from person to person, similar to other plastic surgeries, the healing process is completed at the end of the 1st year. The most important point to be considered in order to spend the healing process in a healthy and comfortable way is to follow the doctor's recommendations and avoid prohibitions that may adversely affect the result.
