MTF Forehead Reduction in Bangkok, Thailand — By Dr. Jaray Krainam MD
Overview of the Surgery
MTF Forehead Reduction Surgery (also known as Forehead Contour Feminization or Hairline Advancement Surgery) is one of the core procedures in Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). It focuses on softening the masculine forehead structure by reducing the size and projection of the brow ridge and advancing the hairline for a smoother, more feminine contour.
At Dr. Jaray Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Bangkok, this surgery is performed by Dr. Jaray Krainam MD, a board-certified plastic and aesthetic surgeon with over 20 years of international experience in craniofacial and transgender surgery. His advanced techniques balance structural precision with aesthetic artistry, creating naturally feminine results tailored to each patient’s facial proportions.
Preparation Before Surgery
- Initial Consultation & Assessment
- A detailed facial analysis and medical evaluation.
- Review of bone structure, brow ridge prominence, and scalp elasticity through X-ray or CT scans.
- Discussion of goals, hairline position, and expectations.
- Medical Preparation
- Blood tests and anesthesia clearance.
- Stop smoking, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications two weeks before surgery.
- Patients traveling internationally are provided with visa, transport, and accommodation support.
Surgical Procedure
MTF Forehead Reduction combines brow bone reduction, frontal sinus contouring, and hairline advancement to achieve a smoother and shorter forehead.
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia.
- Duration: 3 – 4 hours.
- Incision: Made along the hairline to minimize visible scarring.
- Technique: The surgeon reduces the prominent brow ridge, repositions the forehead bone (if necessary), and advances the hairline for balanced proportions.
- Closure: Absorbable sutures and compression dressing to minimize swelling.
The result is a gentle forehead curve that beautifully transitions to the nose bridge, enhancing the overall feminine facial appearance.
Post-Operative Care
- Hospital stay: 1–2 nights for monitoring.
- Recovery time: Most patients return to light activities after 10–14 days; full healing in 6–8 weeks.
- Suture removal: Around 7–10 days post-surgery.
- Swelling and bruising: Mild to moderate for the first two weeks.
- Follow-up: In-clinic checkups or virtual follow-ups for international patients.
Patients should avoid heavy lifting and sleep on their back for the first 2–3 weeks to prevent pressure on the forehead area.
Possible Risks and Complications
As with any surgical procedure, forehead reduction carries some risks, including:
- Temporary numbness in the forehead or scalp
- Hairline irregularity or minor hair shedding (usually temporary)
- Infection or hematoma (rare)
- Mild asymmetry or scar visibility (usually minimal and fade with time)
