What Is a Flat or Uneven Forehead?

A flat or uneven forehead occurs when the forehead lacks natural curvature or has visible bumps, depressions, or asymmetry. This can create a harsh or masculine appearance, make the face look angular or unbalanced, and cause shadows in certain lighting—especially in photos.

Key signs of a forehead that may benefit from contouring include:

• A flat, sloping, or receding forehead
• Visible bony ridges or irregularities
• A narrow or masculine forehead shape
• A forehead that lacks soft, rounded contours
• Facial proportions that feel top-heavy or uneven

What Is Forehead Contouring Surgery?

Forehead Contouring Surgery is a bone reshaping and soft tissue enhancement procedure that creates a smooth, natural, and balanced forehead shape.

At Seoul Cheil Plastic Surgery, forehead contouring is performed with precision and artistry to achieve a soft, elegant look that complements the entire face.

The procedure may involve:

• Burring and shaving of bony prominences (frontal bossing)
• Augmentation using implants or fat grafting to add volume
• Custom forehead implants (if needed) for permanent results
• Surgery time: 2–3 hours under general anesthesia
• Incisions hidden within the hairline for no visible scars
• Often combined with brow lift or hairline lowering for a full forehead transformation

Why Combine With Other Facial Contouring Procedures?

The forehead is just one part of the overall facial structure. For a truly harmonious result, forehead contouring is often combined with:

• Brow lift to correct low or sagging brows
• Hairline lowering surgery for a smaller, more balanced forehead
• Cheekbone reduction to balance facial width
• Chin or jawline contouring for full facial harmony

This holistic approach ensures a proportionate, elegant, and natural look.

Key Characteristics of a Flat or Uneven Forehead

• Flat or sloped shape from side profile
• Visible bony ridges or indentations
• A masculine or angular appearance
• Shadows or uneven light reflection in photos
• Forehead lacks softness and curve
• Disproportion between upper, middle, and lower face

Can Fillers or Botox Fix a Flat Forehead?

Fillers (like hyaluronic acid) can provide temporary volume but:

• They cannot correct bony irregularities
• They require repeated treatments every 6–12 months
• They may cause lumps or unevenness over time

For permanent, smooth, and natural-looking results, forehead contouring surgery is the best solution.
