SOS® Surgery , also known as forehead contouring or forehead feminization, is a endoscopic surgery designed to reshape and reduce the size of the supraorbital ridge. The supraorbital ridge is the bony prominence located above the eyes and is more prominent in both males & even women, giving them a more masculine forehead appearance. By reducing the size of the supraorbital ridge, supraorbital bone shaving surgery can create a more feminine and softer appearance to the forehead.
SOS® Surgery (Supraorbital bone shaving) surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making two small incisions along the hairline. The surgeon then uses specialized tools called Piezo, which is an ultrasonic device, to shave down the supraorbital ridge and reshape the forehead. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are closed with bioabsorbable sutures.
Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the forehead area for the first few days after surgery. Pain medication and cold compresses can help manage any discomfort. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two but should avoid strenuous activity and contact sports for several weeks.
The results of supraorbital bone shaving surgery are generally ever-lasting, and patients can expect a more feminine and balanced appearance to the forehead. The procedure can also help improve self-confidence and overall satisfaction with one’s appearance.
What makes SOS Surgery particularly appealing is its compatibility with other advanced procedures such as Bella Eyes® or Trinity Lift®. The strategic incisions for SOS® Surgery are meticulously placed along the hairline, and remarkably, these incisions align with those required for both Bella Eyes® and Trinity Lift® surgeries. This shared incision point not only streamlines the surgical process but also allows individuals to seamlessly integrate multiple enhancements into a single session. By combining SOS® Surgery with Bella Eyes® or Trinity Lift®, individuals can optimize their facial rejuvenation journey, addressing different aspects of the face with a unified and efficient approach. Another reason why SOS® Surgery can be combined with Bella Eyes® and Trinity Lift® surgeries is that all three are endoscopic operations, which do not leave any scar behind due to the technique used and placement of the incisions.
Good candidates for supraorbital bone shaving surgery are typically healthy individuals with a prominent supraorbital ridge and a desire to achieve a more feminine forehead appearance.
SOS® Surgery takes an hour to complete if not combined with other surgeries.
No, since the incisions are placed in the hairline, there will not be any visible scar after SOS® Surgery .
