Planning the aesthetic foreheadplasty

Ann Plast Surg. 1990 Jul;25(1):1-6. doi: 10.1097/00000637-199007000-00001.

Abstract

Different approaches to aesthetic foreheadplasty have been thoroughly described and well documented. However, there has been a paucity of information in the literature describing indications for the various approaches. We detail our approach to planning the foreheadplasty; most commonly, we opt for the anterior forehead-hairline approach. We believe that proper patient selection with regard to anatomical, aesthetic, and physiological factors is of the greatest importance in planning an aesthetic foreheadplasty.
