A 32 year old man from Bangladesh reported to our hospital for his forehead depression correction. Due to a road traffic accident few months back he had frontal bone fracture and posterior displacement of the bone. He wanted to correct the forehead defect.
After thorough clinical and radiological assessment, Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr S M Balaji diagnosed that due to fracture of the outer table of the forehead (frontal) bone he had a depression and there was a deep nick in the nasal bridge also which required surgical correction. Surgery was done through the previous scar in the forehead and costochondral rib graft was used to augment the defect. Bridge of the nose was also enhanced using rib graft through the same incision. Patient feels very happy to have both forehead and nose correction done in the same surgery improving his appearance without much surgical marks on the face.
