Forehead Reduction in Zafir Medical Center
About the clinic
Forehead reduction surgery at Zafir Medical Center in Mexico City helps patients achieve a balanced facial appearance. The procedure is performed by Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto, a specialist known for his advanced facial harmonization techniques. This surgery can lower the hairline by 1.5 to 5 cm in a single session.
Advanced Surgical Technique
Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto performs forehead reduction, also known as frontoplastia, using local anesthesia and sedation. The surgery typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision inside the hairline. This method helps hide the scar while the skin heals. The final amount of reduction depends on the natural elasticity of the patient's scalp.
Recovery and Results
This is an outpatient procedure, meaning patients usually go home the same day. The results are permanent and do not require follow-up maintenance. Most patients can return to their daily routines within 2 to 3 weeks. Full recovery milestones include:
- Stitch removal: Performed 12 to 14 days after surgery.
- Return to work: Most patients resume work within 14 to 21 days.
- Physical activity: Patients should wait 4 to 6 weeks before starting exercise.
- Scar healing: The incision line usually becomes imperceptible after 6 to 12 months.
Specialist Expertise in Mexico
Dr. Fernando Franco Cravioto leads the surgical team at Zafir Medical Center. He is certified by the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. He also holds memberships in the International Society of Aesthetic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Cravioto developed the Première Facial Harmonization Technique to create natural proportions for each patient.
Personalized Care
The clinic creates a surgical plan for every patient based on a detailed facial analysis. This helps set realistic expectations for the final outcome. Because Zafir Medical Center follows Mexican health authority regulations, patients receive care in a facility that meets national safety standards. The final results of the surgery are typically visible 12 months after the procedure once all swelling has subsided.
