Forehead Contouring in Zafir Medical Center
About the clinic
Forehead contouring, also known as frontoplasty or forehead reduction, is available at Zafir Medical Center in Mexico City, Mexico. This procedure is led by Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto, a board-certified plastic surgeon known for his facial harmonization techniques. Patients can achieve a permanent reduction of the forehead height by 1.5 to 5 cm in a single session.
Expertise of Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto
Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto is a certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic medicine and facial harmonization. He is the creator of the Première Facial Harmonization Technique and holds board certification from the Mexican Council of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto maintains active memberships in the International Society of Aesthetic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Mexican Association of Plastic Surgery (AMCPER).
Procedure and Techniques
The surgery focuses on lowering the hairline or remodeling the frontal bone to create a balanced facial appearance. The medical team uses specific methods based on the patient's needs:
- Hairline advancement to reduce the vertical height of the forehead.
- Frontal remodeling to smooth the bone structure.
- Combination techniques for a complete facial profile change.
The procedure typically takes about 2 hours under general anesthesia. The surgeon places incisions within the hairline to hide visible marks. Since this is an ambulatory surgery, patients usually go home the same day.
Recovery and Results
Initial results are visible immediately after the surgery. Patients should plan to have stitches removed after 12 to 14 days. Most individuals return to work within 15 to 20 days, though physical activities require a pause of over 4 weeks. Full healing and final results appear around 12 months after the procedure. Zafir Medical Center offers a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber to help speed up the recovery process.
Candidacy and Preparation
This surgery is suitable for adults with a forehead height greater than 6 cm and good scalp elasticity. Candidates must have healthy hair density at the hairline. Before the surgery, patients undergo a facial analysis, lab tests, and a meeting with the anesthesiologist. Smoking must be stopped at least 4 weeks before the date. People with active hair loss or very low scalp flexibility may not be eligible for this specific method.
