The clinical dosage is determined by the size/shape of your forehead, your clinical needs, and your desired aesthetic outcomes. More than 1 session may be required.

Most of the forehead can be treated except when it is too close to the eyebrows. Patients with forehead concavity usually also benefit from temple filler treatment.

Prescriptive topical anaesthesia and a nerve block to the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve are commonly performed to fully anaesthetise the whole forehead.

Dr Ricky uses a dermal filling cannula for forehead filler, providing a more even & smoother distribution of the filler and reducing the risk of serious complications.

Product selection is a clinical decision. Only premium and Australian government approved products from authorised suppliers are used.

Forehead Filler Procedure

The procedure includes detailed consultation, antiseptic wash, topical anaesthesia, disinfection, and careful monitoring of tolerance and progress.

Swelling is common for the first 48 hours. Any swelling and bruises can usually be covered with makeup easily.

Forehead Contour & Rejuvenation — Doctor-Led Consultation (Brisbane)

About the forehead

The forehead strongly influences upper-face balance and how light and shadow shape overall appearance. As part of a total-face assessment, we consider forehead curvature, contour and support alongside the brows, midface and chin to plan natural-looking harmony.

With age, changes in bone prominence, soft-tissue volume and skin elasticity can make the upper face appear less smooth. Some people also have a naturally flatter or more concave forehead, which alters light reflection and the perception of profile balance.

Why consider forehead planning?

A doctor-led consultation can explore non-surgical options to:

Smooth contour transitions and support a more even upper-face profile
Address the appearance of volume change that can accentuate shadows or lines
Align forehead shape with your aesthetic preferences—whether softer/rounder or more structured contours
Support goals related to gender-affirming aesthetics, with plans tailored to individual features and cultural preferences

Our approach & design

Proportion (size): Forehead dimensions are planned in relation to facial thirds (upper, mid and lower face) and your ethnicity, gender expression and personal style.
Shape (contour): Depending on suitability, options may aim for a gentle, convex contour or a cleaner, structured plane. Subtle adjustments can influence how the brows and midface are perceived without appearing overdone.
Support & rejuvenation: Age-related volume redistribution and skin changes can increase shadowing and contour irregularity. A staged plan may integrate skin quality care (e.g., sun protection, evidence-informed skincare) and, where appropriate, non-surgical volumising approaches to support a smoother look over time.

Important: Some options discussed in consultation may involve a prescription-only medicine. We do not advertise prescription-only medicines to the public. Any such option can only be discussed and, if appropriate, provided after a consultation with a registered medical practitioner. Individual results vary; no outcome is guaranteed.

Beyond the Basics — Forehead Planning (Brisbane)

Before any procedure, we plan carefully. Your doctor-led consultation considers facial thirds, hairline and brow position, skin quality, personal style and goals to ensure the forehead complements your overall profile.

Important to know: Forehead volumising/contour is an advanced, higher-risk area and is offered selectively at Eleventh Heaven Brisbane following assessment with Dr Ricky Sia. Where appropriate, we use conservative, staged approaches, detailed mapping, and clear discussion of benefits, risks, alternatives and aftercare. In some cases, we may recommend alternative pathways if that better suits your anatomy and goals.

Clinical Dosage

The clinical dosage is determined by:

The size/shape of your forehead.
Your clinical needs.
Your desired aesthetic outcomes.

More than 1 session may be required as typically the forehead is treated slowly and gently. This approach allows maximum safety and gives the best aesthetic outcomes.

Areas To Be Treated

Most of the forehead can be treated except when it is too close to the eyebrows where it could be quite dangerous to treat. Patients with forehead concavity usually also have a degree of temple hollowing and likely will benefit from temple treatment treatment too.

Pain Relief

Prescriptive topical anaesthesia will be applied for 10-15 minutes prior to your procedure. A nerve block to the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve is also commonly performed to fully anaesthetise the whole forehead. There is anaesthetic agent in the treatment which will make the procedure even more tolerable.

Forehead Treatment Procedure

Detailed consultation and contraindications screened.
Pre-procedure: Antiseptic wash & topical anaesthesia (10-15 minutes) +/- nerve block.
Disinfection of the face again with Chlorhexidine and Ethanol.
Confirm anaesthesia with careful contact of needle and anaesthetised area.
Once satisfactory anaesthesia has been confirmed, a fine needle or a cannula will be introduced.
Your tolerance and progress is monitored throughout.
You might be required to sit up during the procedure multiple times throughout for aesthetic outcomes.
Disinfect and pressure/massage may be applied.

Procedure Downtime

Swelling is possible and common for the first 48 hours. Any swelling and bruises after 24 hours can usually be covered with makeup easily. It is common in the first few hours after the procedure that you feel eyelid/eyebrow heaviness. This is due to anaesthetic effects from the treatment and/or nerve block.

Potential Side Effects/Complications

As with all medical procedures, side effects or complications are possible. These are usually very mild, minor and self-limited. Forehead treatment procedure is a highly advanced and sophisticated procedure. This procedure should only be performed by well-trained practitioners in a well-equipped medical facility.

Common

Swelling
Bruises
Possible asymmetry
Possible need for further treatment/product

Rare

Delayed allergic reaction
Granuloma
Infection

Very Rare
