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\">De <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>Stapsgewijze chirurgische procedure: Verwijderen, hervormen en terugplaatsen van de voorwand<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.

Key features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"line-height:1.5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Variability in size and shape<\/strong>: The sinus can range from shallow to deeply recessed, affecting the complexity of the procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thickness of the anterior wall<\/strong>: Thicker bone may require more aggressive reshaping, while thinner bone increases the risk of sinus exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Presence of bony septations<\/strong>: Internal divisions within the sinus can complicate reshaping and require careful removal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-101-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-101-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-101-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-101-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-101-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-101-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-101-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Relationship_to_the_Nasofrontal_Junction\"><\/span>2.

Key structures include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"line-height:1.5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves<\/strong>: Responsible for sensation in the forehead and scalp. Damage can result in numbness or chronic pain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frontalis muscle<\/strong>: Elevates the eyebrows and contributes to facial expressions. Over-dissection can lead to brow ptosis (drooping).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pericranium<\/strong>: A vascular membrane that nourishes the bone flap.

Lekkage van hersenvocht (CSF)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A CSF leak occurs if the <strong>posterior wall of the frontal sinus<\/strong> is accidentally breached during osteotomy.

Risks include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"line-height:1.5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bone resorption<\/strong>: The body may absorb the reshaped bone flap, leading to asymmetry or contour irregularities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chronic sinusitis<\/strong>: If the sinus lining is disrupted, it can result in long-term inflammation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hardware complications<\/strong>: Plates or screws may become palpable or infected, requiring removal (Multi-fragment Onlay Reconstruction in Forehead Contouring Surgery, 2025).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Sensory_Changes_and_Nerve_Damage\"><\/span>3.
