class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>\u00f6n kemik<\/strong> Ve <strong>frontal sinus<\/strong> play a pivotal role in forehead reconstruction. The frontal bone forms the upper part of the face and houses the frontal sinus, a hollow cavity that varies in size and shape among individuals. The <strong>anterior table<\/strong> of the frontal sinus is the outer layer of bone that contributes to the forehead&#8217;s contour, while the <strong>posterior table<\/strong> separates the sinus from the brain. The thickness of these tables and the degree of sinus pneumatization (air-filled expansion) influence the choice between Type 1 and Type 3 cranioplasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0130\u00e7inde <strong>Type 1 cranioplasty<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/tr\/\">Cerrah<\/a> uses a high-speed burr to shave down the outer cortical bone, reducing prominence without violating the frontal sinus. This technique is ideal for patients with <strong>thin frontal bone<\/strong> or minimal bossing, as it preserves the sinus&#8217;s integrity. However, it may not be sufficient for patients with significant brow bossing or a thick anterior table, as excessive burring can compromise bone stability or fail to achieve the desired contour (Ousterhout, 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, <strong>Type 3 cranioplasty<\/strong> involves an <strong>osteotomi<\/strong>\u2014a controlled cut through the anterior table of the frontal sinus. The bone segment is then repositioned backward (setback) to reduce projection and create a smoother, more feminine forehead. This technique is reserved for patients with <strong>moderate to severe brow bossing<\/strong> or a thick anterior table, where burring alone would be inadequate. The osteotomy allows for precise reshaping while maintaining the sinus&#8217;s protective function (Feminization of the Forehead: A Scoping Literature Review, 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-53-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-53-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-53-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-53-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-53-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-53.png 1262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Type_1_Cranioplasty_Shaving_and_Burring\"><\/span>Tip 1 Kranioplasti: T\u0131ra\u015flama ve Frezeleme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technique_Overview\"><\/span>Teknik Genel Bak\u0131\u015f<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Type 1 cranioplasty is the least invasive option for forehead reconstruction. It involves using a <strong>high-speed burr<\/strong> to gradually reduce the prominence of the frontal bone. The surgeon meticulously shaves the outer cortical layer, avoiding penetration into the frontal sinus. This technique is particularly effective for patients with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mild to moderate brow bossing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thin frontal bone (less than 5 mm)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Absence of significant frontal sinus pneumatization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure is performed through a <strong>koronal kesi<\/strong>, which allows access to the forehead while minimizing visible scarring.

It involves an <strong>osteotomi<\/strong>\u2014a precise cut through the anterior table of the frontal sinus\u2014followed by repositioning the bone segment backward (setback). This technique allows for significant reduction in forehead projection and a smoother, more feminine contour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure is typically performed through a <strong>koronal kesi<\/strong>, providing access to the frontal bone and sinus. The surgeon uses a <strong>sagittal saw or piezoelectric device<\/strong> to create the osteotomy, ensuring the cut follows the natural curvature of the forehead. The bone segment is then repositioned and secured with <strong>titanyum plakalar ve vidalar<\/strong> or resorbable sutures. This technique is ideal for patients with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Severe brow bossing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thick frontal bone (greater than 5 mm)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Significant frontal sinus pneumatization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Type 3 cranioplasty requires meticulous planning, often involving <strong>3 boyutlu sanal cerrahi planlama (VSP)<\/strong> to simulate the osteotomy and setback. This ensures precision and minimizes the risk of complications such as sinus violation or cerebrospinal fluid leaks (Virtual Surgical Planning in Facial Feminization of the Upper Face,
