Introduction: Within the Asian women, aesthetic facial contouring procedures, particularly forehead augmentation, is growing in popularity. The majority of patients want a fuller-looking rounder forehead. There are some alloplastic materials, such as bone cement and prosthesis, to enhance the shape and volume of the forehead. Autologous fat grafting is widely used for soft-tissue augmentation because it has less psychological effect on patients and adipose tissue is easy to harvest. Although fat grafts are widely used for aesthetic purposes, their survival rates differ significantly. Materials / method: Targets were 20 patients who underwent autologous fat grafting for forehead between January of 2021 and January 2022. Facial proportion analysis was collected and compared from pre- and postoperative VECTRA® 3D photographs. Results: The postoperative photographs show greater fullness and contour of the forehead. Conclusion: Autologous fat grafting to the face is efficacious procedure for forehead contouring and augmentation. However, the extent to which fat transfer can enhance a person’s shape is limited. In order to gain the desired goal, patients will have to repeat the plastic surgery. The lack of long-term follow-up data is also the main problem.
