Flat Forehead
Now and then, we saw plenty of women who have pretty facial features come into our clinic for consultation or treatment, nevertheless, some of them still give a dull appearance. This is because they have a rather flat facial profile especially at the forehead. Few years back, there was a trend to plump up the forehead like the God of Longevity, which taught us how a plumped and rounded forehead can improve our overall face appearance.
What is flat forehead
Forehead is part of the face above the eyebrows, which occupies around one third of the face.
In Chinese culture, a rounded and convex forehead is a symbol of beauty and blessing. People with this kind of forehead give an impression of being intelligent and full of wisdom. On the contrary, people with flat forehead give an impression of dullness. Therefore, the forehead profile will affect how your face looks.
Based on the general anaesthetic standard, our face is divided into three parts and the forehead is the first part. Faces that display characteristics of “three courts and five eyes” and “four highs and three lows” are considered pretty. For example, if the forehead is flat and long, its facial side profile will not be naturally curved. On the other hand, a rounded forehead will give a natural curve of the face and help to plump the eyebrows, making the eyes more attractive. Also, a rounded forehead can naturally reduce lines and wrinkles because of its convex feature.
In short, the forehead can affect how your face looks and what impression your face gives. A rounded and plump forehead can definitely give you a more youthful appearance. By receiving forehead fillers treatment, people with flat forehead will not only improve the problem of their flat or concave foreheads, but also experience a significant improvement of their face shape and impression.
Causes
Inborn flat forehead could be caused by early development defects such as small forehead, uneven forehead, appearance of pit-shaped/U-shaped depression, receding forehead, bilateral asymmetry foreheads, etc. Also, a flat forehead can be developed externally such as aging and injury.
In general, aging is the main reason for developing a flat forehead. When we get older, our skin on the forehead naturally becomes thinner and less elastic due to the loss of collagen and tissue. The sagging skin from the forehead causes the forehead to become narrower, show uneven skin and accumulate skin at the upper eyelids.
Symptoms
Based on the “four highs and three lows” beauty standard, all four facial parts, including the frontal bone, nose tip, lip bead and chin tip, should be protruding and align on the central axis of the face. This naturally curved facial profile gives a young and energetic appearance. A plump and full forehead will create a rounded and smooth forehead profile while a flat forehead shows a dull, sometimes concave side profile and a lack of lively appearance.
Affected groups
A flat forehead can destroy one’s facial side profile and give a dull-looking, which will get worse as we age. People with flatter forehead are prone to developing forehead lines than the one with rounded forehead.
Treatments
Hyaluronic acid dermal filler is the safest treatment that provides you with an instant result for treating a flat forehead. Dermal filler is suitable for people with busy lives because it has lower risk and almost no downtime compared to other treatments such as fat grafting or rhinoplasty.
A. Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers at the forehead
What is it?
Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronate, is naturally found in tissues and cells. In aesthetic treatment, hyaluronic acid can act as a filler and is injected into the dermis layer to fill up the folds/depressions or plump certain areas such as lips, cheeks, nose and chin. The injected hyaluronic acid will smooth and fill lines and wrinkles, and add volume to the face naturally. As hyaluronic acid can be naturally metabolised and will not remain in the body, there are no side effects of injecting HA. Also, having repeated courses of HA injection is safe and effective for long term results.
How does it work?
To drive volume back to the forehead, medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid will be injected into the skin at the forehead. The injected hyaluronic acid will group with the hyaluronic acid that already exists in the body naturally to plump up the flat forehead. The resulting more rounded and convex forehead will give your face a young, radiant appearance.
