What is
Affirmation Frontoplasty?
Frontoplasty is the surgical procedure designed to reshape the upper third of the face. Unlike a simple facelift, this surgery acts on the bone structure and the hairline.
In Zaragoza, we specialize in forehead feminization, where the goal is to reduce the supraorbital ridge (the prominent bone above the eyes) and, if necessary, advance the hairline to visually reduce the size of the forehead. The result is a face with softer transitions, a clearer gaze, and an androgenous or feminine facial aesthetic, depending on your personal goals.
The Process:Your Transformation in detail
3D Planning
We analyze the thickness of the frontal bone using imaging tests to decide whether to perform filing or reconstruction of the anterior wall.
The Intervention
It is performed under general anesthesia. We reshape the bone and adjust the soft tissues so that the skin adapts to the new contour.
Hospital Stay
Usually requires an overnight stay for your complete safety and immediate comfort.
Recovery
Swelling significantly reduces in the first 2 weeks. The final result, with a completely smooth forehead, consolidates after a few months.
Harmony and
Opening of the Gaze
- Elimination of Bone Protrusion: We reduce the prominence of the frontal bone to eliminate the sensation of a "heavy" or tired gaze.
- Hairline Reshaping: We can advance the scalp to round the forehead and conceal receding hairlines, achieving a softer contour.
- Brow Lift: Often combined to position the eyebrows in a higher, more youthful arch, opening up the expression of the eyes.
- Hidden Scars: The incision is strategically made along or within the hairline, becoming imperceptible over time.
- Facial Confidence: As one of the areas that most define gender at first glance, its softening drastically reduces facial dysphoria.
Frequently Asked Questions
At our clinic in Zaragoza, we not only address your medical concerns but also provide emotional support at every stage. Your safety and identity are our priority.”
Is it a painful surgery?
Although it seems like an impactful surgery, the postoperative period is usually more uncomfortable due to swelling and a feeling of tightness than actual pain, which is well controlled with analgesia.
Will I lose hair in the scar area?
We make beveled incisions to protect the hair follicles. There may be a temporary loss of density due to tissue stress, but hair usually regrows through the scar, concealing it.
When will I see the final result?
Bone changes are immediate, but the forehead is an area that tends to retain fluid. The definitive results are visible between 6 and 12 months post-intervention.
Can it be combined with Rhinoplasty?
It is very common. When modifying the forehead, the angle where the nose begins changes, so performing both procedures at the same time ensures total profile harmony.
