How Forehead Augmentation works
Fat grafting gives a soft, natural result but some fat is absorbed. A custom implant designed from 3D data gives a predictable shape and is inserted through a small scalp incision.
The choice depends on how much volume you need and your preference for own tissue or an implant.

Forehead Augmentation recovery timeline
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Surgery and rest in a private recovery room; most patients return to their hotel the same day. Cold compresses start straight away. |
| Days 2–3 | Swelling and bruising usually peak. Keep your head elevated, walk gently and avoid alcohol, saunas and exercise. |
| Days 5–7 | Check-up at the clinic; stitches, splints or tapes are removed where used. Most patients are cleared to fly after this visit. |
| Week 2 | Most visible swelling has eased and many people return to desk work and light make-up. |
| Months 1–3 | Residual swelling keeps settling and the shape refines. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed after 4 weeks. |
| Months 6–12 | The final result is generally assessed at this stage. We follow up online after you return home. |
Aftercare tips
- Wear the face band or compression as instructed.
- After intraoral incisions, rinse after meals and eat soft food for 2–4 weeks.
- Avoid pressure or massage on grafted fat for about 4 weeks.
- Sleep on your back with your head raised.
- Avoid smoking, which reduces fat survival and slows bone healing.
