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.

The atmosphere is very family-like! I would say you don’t feel like you’re in a clinic. Also, Zafir (Paulina) at reception is very warm and, at the same time, professional. She’s attentive to every detail and always makes sure to have the information at hand—both to keep the patient informed and to ensure you’re taken care of in every aspect. The place is very clean, it has all the necessary equipment, and there is plenty of nursing support whenever it’s needed. I highly recommend this clinic! They provide the necessary services at an affordable price.

It was really great to be at the facilities of Zafir Medical Center. Interlomas is truly a place that’s evolving. They provide top-level customer service, and it’s definitely worth it—especially when it comes to health matters. It’s wonderful to be in a place where professionals take care of you, but above all where they treat you with human, warm, kind, and decent manners. Also, the place is very beautiful. Paulina (the receptionist) is a very gentle and cordial person, and we felt at home. Thank you for the support. When I was there, they were doing renovations, but that didn’t prevent them from providing an impeccable service. And when that Hospital is 100% ready, it’s going to be something else in terms of value for money. Adding the customer service as well, I highly recommend it.
