Forehead Implant Before and After, How Forehead Augmentation Can Balance the Face
Forehead augmentation is plastic surgery that gives the forehead more depth, which helps the face look more balanced. A well-shaped forehead can also help the face look more in proportion and give it more depth.
Facial balance, often linked with the golden ratio (1:1 proportions), is measured by these distances:
- hairline to the point between the eyebrows
- point between the eyebrows to the tip of the nose
- tip of the nose to the tip of the chin
If you measure your face and the distances are equal or close to it, your face is considered well proportioned. However, women and men generally differ. A man’s forehead is usually more prominent and slopes back more, while a woman’s forehead is rounder and less prominent, which can make it look flat. Forehead augmentation can help add depth.
Who Is Forehead Augmentation Suitable For?
- People with a protruding forehead bone
- People with an uneven or tilted forehead
- People with a dented or hollow forehead
- People with a wide or narrow forehead
- People with a flat forehead
- People whose facial proportions are out of balance
- People who want augmentation to improve how their forehead looks
What Concerns Lead People to Have Forehead Augmentation to Reshape the Face?
- A flat forehead, which is inherited
- A wavy forehead, which may come from health problems or the forehead bone sinking
- Wanting to give the face more depth. Some people have a bony bump that makes the forehead higher than the rest of the face, and silicone forehead augmentation to reshape the face can reduce this extra height so it looks softer.
Forehead Augmentation Techniques at S45 Clinic
There are 3 types of silicone forehead augmentation:
1. Ready-Made Silicone Implant
Several sizes are available, S, M and L. Ready-made silicone forehead augmentation places a silicone implant of a set size and shape over the forehead to add depth and a rounded curve to the face. It takes about 1 to 2 hours (depending on how complex it is). Ready-made forehead implants are moulded from medical-grade silicone. The size depends on your concern and the surgeon’s assessment of what suits you.
- Key point: a short operation, suitable for people with a narrow, flat or dented forehead
2. Custom-Made Silicone Forehead Implant, Casting Mold
Implant-grade material moulded from a plaster cast of your skull and custom-made in Korea. The surgeon sets and designs the implant size to match your forehead concern, because moulding helps the implant fit each person’s face.
3. Custom-Made Silicone Forehead Implant, 4D CT FIT
Designed for your proportions, with the fullness you choose, and custom-made in Korea from implant-grade material using detailed, accurate 3D images from a CT scan. The implant is smooth with thin edges. The scar is hidden at the hairline and is usually hard to see, and the edges usually stay hard to see over time.
Forehead Augmentation Reviews at S45 Clinic
Silicone forehead augmentation is done once and lasts a long time. The soft silicone can give a good result, and a custom-made implant in particular can fit smoothly and closely with less chance of visible edges, helping the face look softer with more depth. It can also reduce lines on the forehead, and it is planned to avoid affecting the nerves.
Rest for at least 1 week after silicone forehead augmentation and follow the surgeon’s advice closely. If there is swelling in the first 3 days, it gradually improves and the forehead settles into shape.
How to Prepare for Forehead Augmentation

- Tell the surgeon if you have any drug allergies.
- Stop antiplatelet medicines or blood thinners 14 days before surgery.
- Do not smoke for at least 7 days before and after surgery.
