I am interested in a forehead augmentation using pmma bone cement.

Question

What has your experience been with the lasting properties and possible complications with it?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

There are several options for forehead augmentation and shaping including bone cement and custom made implants. Extensive exposure (coronal incision, an incision through hair bearing scalp extending from ear to ear) is usually necessary access to remodel the entire forehead. Custom made implants are excellent but may be prohibitively expensive.You should seek a consultation with a craniofacial plastic surgeon or a board certified plastic surgeon with experience with this type of surgery for detailed clinical evaluation and discuss your options. Good luck.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

PMMA offers a reliable and permanent option for forehead augmentation. Because it has to be prepared and shaped during surgery, it requires a near full coronal scalp incision to place properly in most patients. Trying to place a moldeable bone cement through smaller scalp incision has a high risk of irregularities and contour problems. In order to use a much smaller scalp incision, a custom made forehead implant is best.
