Individual planning

DI Forehead Reduction
Two key features
01  Follicle-preserving incision
An oblique incision is planned to limit injury to hair roots. Hairline growth over around six months may help conceal the surgical site; healing varies.
02  Secure closure without fixation devices
Triple-layer suturing reduces tension and supports the incision. No fixation device is placed in the forehead bone, avoiding device-related prominence or foreign-body sensation.
Illustrations are explanatory. Outcomes and recovery vary.
