“…When pulling and securing the scalp flap by using Endotine ® , it is possible to perform suturing in the state with nearly no tension when suturing the galea aponeurotica layer by layer. It was also identified that the scars were not stretched, as there was no tension on the suture line for a few months during the follow up observation period [14].…”

Background A face is considered beautiful if the forehead is presented with a width and proportion similar to the golden ratio or so called Cannon ratio. The most previously performed plastic surgeries on the forehead was a procedure to fill depressed parts so as to make the appearance of a smooth but convex three-dimensional forehead. However, this study focused on making a beautiful facial contour from the creation of a forehead adequately proportional to the overall ratio through a method of correcting the large forehead. Methods Based on the measurement by gliding test, start the designing in a zig-zag form along the hair line. Flap is dissected as designed between the galea aponeurotica and above the periosteum. In order to reposition and fix the scalp flap to the desired place, Endotine forehead ® is used. Results The amount of forehead reduction ranged from 12 to 23 mm, the average being 15.9 mm. The post-operative scar was matured 5 to 6 months after the surgery, and became faded and invisible in most of the patients. Conclusions The method used by the authors may be referred to as a surgical method with an emphasis on reducing the area on the forehead directly. This was done by lowering the location of the trichion, shortening the length of the forehead, and consequently reducing the size of a broad forehead. Satisfactory results were obtained from the tension-minimized forehead reduction procedure used in this study.

“…Frontal scalp incision should be made within the fine hair of the anterior scalp approximately 4-5 mm behind the true hairline beveling toward the scalp [7,12,13]. Then, the incision can be transitioned into the scalp in the temporal areas and turned inferiorly toward the root of the ears, where an incision is made parallel to the hair shafts.…”

“…Then, the incision can be transitioned into the scalp in the temporal areas and turned inferiorly toward the root of the ears, where an incision is made parallel to the hair shafts. The scalp can be extensively undermined in the subgaleal plane back to the occiput, and if necessary, several parallel releasing incisions through the galea every 1.5-2.0 cm can assist scalp advancement and tension free closure [7,12,13]. Galeotomies are made through the galea just enough to expose underlying scalp fat and to preserve the blood supply to the scalp [7,12,13].…”
