Overview
Forehead filler is the application of hyaluronic acid based filler to appropriate anatomical areas in order to reduce hollows and contour irregularities of the forehead and create a more balanced forehead profile.
The shape of the forehead is influenced by bone structure, soft tissues and age-related volume changes. In some people the forehead is structurally flatter or hollow, while volume loss over time can also alter the forehead contour.
Forehead filler aims to create a softer, more balanced and natural forehead contour in harmony with the individual's facial anatomy.
How Is Forehead Filler Performed?
Before the procedure the forehead is assessed both frontally and in profile. The forehead contour, bone structure, temples and brow position are examined to determine the treatment areas and the amount of filler.
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied and left for about 15–20 minutes. Hyaluronic acid filler is then placed in the planned areas with a needle or cannula according to individual anatomy and the treatment plan.
The forehead is an anatomically delicate area containing important vascular structures. It is therefore important that the procedure is performed by a physician experienced in facial anatomy and vascular structures.
