How is a feminizing forehead surgery in NY performed?

Brow lift operation is a very common surgical procedure nowadays that involves brow shaving and altering of the bone.

The eyebrows that are on the solid bone they are filed down via the help of this procedure.

As fontus sinus (section between the eyebrows) is hollow, the removing of bossing is difficult. Hence, the bone is reshaped and placed on the desired position with small titanium screws.

Depending on the patient’s needs, one of the following types of forehead feminizing surgery in NY is carried out:

Shaving
Different patients have different problems. Some may have a wide sinus or a small sinus. The excessive past of the bone of patients who have a small sinus is removed which in medical terms is known as shaving or feminization of the forehead.

Shaving and filling

This method is appropriate when the projection angle between the nose and the forehead is equal. Patients having such projection, only needs to go through concavity after the bossing has been performed. Then the concave area is filled with bonecement (methylmethaccrylate).

Forehead reconstruction
