Forehead Contouring with Bone Cement


The forehead can be contoured to look smoother and less protrusive or to fill in localized depressions or irregularities using bone cement applied directly to the skull.

The forehead bone is exposed in a manner similar to that used during coronal forehead lifting from an incision hidden in the scalp. Bone cement, or polymethylmetacrylate, in then applied in a paste-like form onto the bone to sculpt forehead shape.

Once in place, bone cement feels similar to natural bone. The augmentation is permanent but can be surgically reversed if desired.
