Forehead surgery is not a common cosmetic procedure in plastic surgery. Patients having craniosynostosis or congenital skull deformation might need this face procedure. In certain cases, patients who had undergone a cosmetic procedure of craniotomy in neurosurgery or patients suffering from frontal skull deformation due to trauma might require forehead surgery. This facelift procedure would be performed to smooth out the irregularities in the forehead or to soften the asymmetry in brow ridges.

Planing on having forehead surgery procedure in Greece?
Here is some General Information about Greece:

Greece First civilizations

The country's first inhabitants are now referred to as the Pelasgians. Little is known about them, but it is believed that they were a primitive people. The first advanced civilizations to live in Greece were the Cycladic Civilization -who inhabited most of the Cycladic Islands- and the Minoan Civilization, who inhabited the islands of Crete and Santor?ni. The Minoans had developed a written language which remains undecipherable to modern-day archaeologists.

Forehead Reduction Surgery in Greece (GR)

In general, forehead irregularity treatment could be done by the burning down of brow ridges or the forehead bone. In some patients, implants could be injected into the forehead to correct the abnormality in the forehead. However, in burning down the forehead bone or brow ridges, the limiting factor would be determined by the underlying forehead frontal sinus. If the sinus were thin, then the surgeon would not be able to remove too much bone. Further, this procedure could effectively address small raised forehead areas but the reduction of large areas of the forehead could be quite difficult.

Forehead Augmentation Surgery in Greece (GR)

Addition or filling up the forehead bone is a much more effective and easier cosmetic procedure in plastic surgery. Normally, polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA had been used extensively for forehead augmentation. The risks of this material getting loose, the forehead becoming infected, or the overlying skin of the forehead getting thin is possible, but such risks are very rare. Of late, certain ‘natural’ materials like hydroxyapatite cements or HA are being used by plastic surgeons, since the structure of HA closely resembles the structure of the human bone. However, HA is quite costly, compared to PMMA.

Forehead Augmentation Procedure in Greece (GR)

The surgeon would perform an open incision on the forehead either to remove the bone or to inject the implants. If the surgeon and the patient feel that the incision would be long and the scar would be visible, endoscopic incisions of smaller sizes could be resorted to by the surgeon. Since this is a highly sensitive plastic surgery, only highly skilled and experienced surgeons in Greece (GR) - should do this cosmetic procedure.

Greece forehead surgery - News update:
This British qualitative study examined the causes of preventable drug-related admissions (PDRAs) to hospital using semi-structured interviews and medical record review. It involved 62 participants (18 patients, 8 informal carers, 17 GPs, 12 community pharmacists, 3 practice nurses and 4 other members of healthcare staff) who had been involved in events leading up to the patients’ hospital admissions in Nottingham. The following findings were reported: • PDRAs are associated with problems at multiple stages in the medication use process, including prescribing, dispensing, administration, monitoring and help seeking. • The main causes of these problems are communication failures (between patients and healthcare professionals and different groups of healthcare professionals) and knowledge gaps (about drugs and patients’ medical and medication histories). • The causes of PDRAs are similar irrespective of whether the hospital admission is associated with a prescribing, monitoring or patient adherence problem. The researchers conclude “causes of PDRAs are multifaceted and complex. Technical solutions to PDRAs will need to take account of this complexity and are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Interventions targeting the human causes of PDRAs are also necessary.” They suggest that if the NHS patient care record currently under development is implemented effectively, it could help to alleviate some of the communication problems seen in this study, by allowing prescribers rapid access to medication and medical histories when patients are transferred between primary and secondary care, as well as the results of monitoring. In addition, pharmacists in secondary care are recognised as an important patient safety resource, aided by easy access to medical records; something that community pharmacists do not have access to, which makes their role in patient safety more limited. Again, the NHS patient care record could provide them with access to medical and medication histories, which would act as a defence against PDRM. However it is recognised that community pharmacists are likely to need additional training to ensure they can use it effectively, and more work is needed to address the relationships between pharmacists and prescribers, to make it easier for pharmacists to question potential problems they find on prescriptions. In addition, patients need to be provided with adequate information to maximise their ability to manage their own medication safely and appropriately. More...
