Forehead osteoma removal may be performed by making a small buttonhole incision just inside the hairline or scalp. The bone is then reshaped using an endoscopic procedure, where excess osteocytes (bone cells) are removed.

What happens after the surgery?

After the procedure, the patient will have to stay in the hospital until the effects of the anaesthesia wear off. All incisions will be covered with a sterile dressing to protect the wound from the risk of infection.

How long it takes to recover?

The normal recovery time is between two and three weeks, but in some cases, patients can already resume their normal activities after 2 or 3 days following the procedure. After a week, patients need to go back for a follow-up and have the stitches removed.

Methods and complications for forehead rasping?

Endoscopic approaching technique is getting popular and commonly used during the cosmetic surgery because it has many advantages. This method also, however, has difficulties to remove large-sized mass and to perform caudal dissection, and for increased operative times.

Furthermore, there are complication of incomplete removal, hematoma, and swelling. The proper candidate is the patient with smooth forehead, with a mobile and soft mass, with a propensity for keloid formation, or hypertrophic scarring. Endoscopic technique is not only advantageous but also disadvantageous. That is why surgeon’s selection is more important.

What is the duration of the surgery?

It takes approximately from 1 to 2 hours.
