What Is a Flat or Hollow Forehead?

A flat or hollow forehead occurs when the upper facial contour lacks natural fullness and curvature. This can make the forehead appear sunken, uneven, or masculine, resulting in a less balanced and youthful look. Many individuals seek a rounder, softer forehead shape to achieve a more harmonious facial profile.

Key features of a flat or hollow forehead include:

• A flat or receding forehead when viewed from the side
• A bony, angular appearance
• Shadows or depressions that make the face look tired or aged
• A masculine or harsh look instead of a soft, feminine contour
• Difficulty achieving a balanced upper face with makeup or hairstyles

What Is Forehead Augmentation?

Forehead Augmentation is a facial contouring procedure that enhances the shape and volume of the forehead to create a smoother, more balanced profile.

At Seoul Cheil Plastic Surgery, forehead augmentation is tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure and desired outcome. The procedure options include:

1️⃣ Forehead Implant Augmentation

• A custom-designed implant is placed under the forehead skin to add volume
• Made of biocompatible materials like silicone
• Creates a permanent, defined shape
• Incision hidden inside the hairline for scar-free appearance

2️⃣ Fat Grafting

• The patient’s own fat is harvested (usually from the abdomen or thighs) and injected into the forehead
• Provides a soft, natural enhancement
• May require touch-up sessions for long-term results

3️⃣ Combination Techniques

• For patients with both bony irregularities and soft tissue loss, combining an implant with fat grafting achieves the best result.

Why Combine With Other Facial Procedures?

Forehead shape plays a critical role in overall facial balance. For a fully harmonious result, forehead augmentation is often combined with:

• Brow lift for a more youthful upper face
• Hairline lowering for a proportionate forehead
• Cheekbone reduction to refine facial width
• Chin or jawline contouring for lower face harmony

This comprehensive approach ensures a naturally beautiful, balanced result.

Key Characteristics of a Forehead That May Benefit From Augmentation

• A flat or sunken forehead
• A masculine or angular profile
• Depressions or irregularities in the upper face
• Shadows under certain lighting that create an aged appearance
• A face that lacks soft, smooth contours

Can Fillers Replace Forehead Augmentation?

Hyaluronic acid fillers can temporarily add volume to the forehead but:

• They dissolve within 6–12 months
• May cause lumpiness or irregular texture over time
• 无法提供植入物或脂肪移植的永久、明确的轮廓

For long-lasting results, forehead augmentation surgery is the only effective option.
