WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE SURGERY?

Before your surgery, our team will be in constant contact with you to make sure all the boxes are checked. Some crucial elements to remember are:

Do not eat or drink for 6-7 hours leading to the surgery, otherwise you may not tolerate the anaesthesia well.
Avoid strong colognes or perfumes
Make sure to have enough comfortable clothes
Take off all your piercings and jewellery

You can also attend to minor details like removing contacts and switching to glasses, packing a bag of essentials as well as preparing a last-minute list of questions. Remember, there’s no such thing as being too prepared!

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY?

If you are considering forehead reduction surgery, there are several steps you can take to prepare for the procedure:

Discuss your goals and expectations: During your consultation with the surgeon, be sure to discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure. This will help the surgeon understand your desired outcome and determine if forehead reduction surgery is the right option for you.
Review the risks and benefits: Make sure you understand the potential risks and benefits of forehead reduction surgery.
Follow pre-operative instructions: Before your surgery, your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions to follow to help ensure the best possible outcome. This may include instructions on when to stop eating and drinking, what medications to take or avoid, and other important details. It is important to follow these instructions closely.
Arrange for transportation and post-operative care: You will need someone to drive you home after your surgery, and you may need help with daily tasks for the first few days after the procedure. Make sure you have arranged for transportation and post-operative care in advance.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that you are well-prepared for your forehead reduction surgery.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PROCEDURE?

A forehead reduction can be carried out using a variety of techniques, such as an endoscopic brow lift, an open brow lift, and a hairline brow lift. The specific procedure chosen will depend on the requirements and objectives of each patient as well as the surgeon’s personal preferences.

The surgeon will make a few tiny incisions in the scalp, either inside the hair or along the hairline, during a forehead reduction procedure. The surgeon will be able to lift and reposition the tissues of the brow and forehead as well as, if necessary, remove extra skin through these incisions. In some circumstances, the surgeon may also employ devices like screws or plates to keep the tissues in place and support the maintenance of the surgical results.

Following your successful procedure, you will be taken to our Recovery Suites where you will be watched until the anaesthesia has worn off.

HEALING AND AFTERCARE

WHAT TO EXPECT WHILE HEALING FROM THE PROCEDURE

It is crucial to remember that every patient and surgery is unique, and the specifics of the procedure may change based on the demands of each patient and the recommendations of the surgeon.

As a result, each person’s healing process will be unique. However, we will guide you through the specifics of your procedure.

Recovery from a forehead reduction surgery typically takes a few weeks. During this time, it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions closely in order to ensure proper healing and the best possible results.

Here are some general tips for caring for yourself after a forehead reduction surgery:

Take it easy: After surgery, it’s important to rest and give your body time to recover. Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding when it is safe to resume normal activities and refrain from strenuous activity.

Follow the prescribed pain management plan: To help you cope with any discomfort you may feel following surgery, your doctor will probably prescribe pain medication. Take the medication as directed and in accordance with the recommended dosage.
Keep your head elevated: Try to keep your head elevated above your heart to help reduce swelling and discomfort. This might entail using additional pillows while you sleep or raising yourself up on a recliner.
Protect your incisions by keeping them clean, dry, and away from water until your surgeon gives the all-clear. Additionally, you might need to cover your incisions with a bandage for a while.
Avoid direct sunlight: It is important to protect your skin from direct sunlight while it is healing. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or use a sunscreen with a high SPF when you are outside.

By following these tips and your surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions, you can help ensure a smooth and successful recovery from your forehead reduction surgery.

ANSWERING YOUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will I have visible scars after the surgery?

The majority of forehead reduction procedures use discreet, small incisions that are either hidden within the hairline or the hair itself. As a result, following surgery, the scars are typically not noticeable. However, because every patient is unique, the specific scarring pattern will vary depending on the healing process of the patient and the surgical method used.

Are the results of the surgery permanent?

Although they are not permanent, the effects of a forehead reduction procedure are typically long-lasting. The effects of the surgery could be impacted by the skin and tissues shifting over time as a result of natural ageing and other factors.

How long does it take to recover?

An operation to reduce the forehead usually requires a few weeks of recovery. Follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully during this time and take it easy to give your body time to heal.
