Unlike Type 1 or Type 2 procedures, which involve bone shaving or partial reshaping, Type 3 requires the <strong>complete removal, reshaping, and repositioning<\/strong> of the anterior wall. This technique is particularly suited for individuals with <strong>prominent brow ridges and deep frontal sinuses<\/strong>, where simpler methods would be insufficient or risk exposing the sinus (Mittermiller, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le <strong>key distinction<\/strong> of Type 3 lies in its ability to achieve a <strong>dramatic feminization<\/strong> of the forehead by leveraging the anterior wall\u2019s repositioning. This approach not only reduces the brow ridge but also creates a smoother, more harmonious forehead contour, aligning with feminine facial aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-98-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-98-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-98-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-98-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-98-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-98-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-98-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Surgical_Procedure_Removing_Reshaping_and_Replacing_the_Anterior_Wall\"><\/span>Proc\u00e9dure chirurgicale \u00e9tape par \u00e9tape\u00a0: ablation, remodelage et remplacement de la paroi ant\u00e9rieure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Type 3 Forehead Reduction procedure is a <strong>multi-step process<\/strong> that requires precision, anatomical expertise, and advanced surgical tools.
