Forehead fillers are a popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment in Singapore used to restore volume, smooth out uneven contours, and enhance the overall shape of the forehead. As we age, volume loss in the upper face can create a sunken or concave appearance, which may affect facial harmony.
By strategically injecting dermal fillers into the forehead, this treatment helps to create a fuller, more youthful profile—without the need for surgery or implants. At our clinic, all forehead filler procedures are performed by experienced medical doctors to ensure natural, safe, and precise results tailored to your facial structure.
Forehead fillers are primarily used to enhance the shape and contour of the upper face. Common aesthetic goals include:
By restoring volume and contour to the forehead, this treatment helps to rejuvenate the upper third of the face and enhance overall facial harmony.
You may be a good candidate for forehead fillers if you are looking for a non-surgical way to enhance the upper third of your face. This treatment may be appropriate for individuals who:
Forehead fillers can be tailored to suit both male and female facial structures, and are suitable for a wide range of aesthetic preferences—from subtle reshaping to more defined augmentation. A personalised consultation with a doctor is essential to assess suitability and develop a safe, customised treatment plan.
Forehead fillers provide a non-surgical way to enhance the upper third of the face with natural, subtle results. Key benefits include:
When desired, forehead fillers can be combined with other treatments—such as botulinum toxin or temple fillers—for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
The amount of filler required for forehead augmentation varies based on your individual anatomy and desired outcome. On average, 1 to 3 syringes (1–3 mL) may be needed to restore volume and sculpt a natural-looking forehead contour.
Patients with a more recessed or flat forehead may require a higher volume to achieve a smoother, rounded shape—often referred to as the forehead ogee curve, which contributes to a more youthful and balanced facial profile.
During your consultation, your doctor will assess your facial structure and customise the treatment plan to ensure precise, natural results using the appropriate amount of filler.
Your treatment journey begins with a detailed consultation, where Dr Edwin will assess your facial structure and identify the areas of the forehead that require volume enhancement. Based on your goals and anatomy, a personalised plan will be created to ensure natural-looking results.
For larger treatment areas, the cannula technique is often preferred. A soft, blunt-tipped cannula is used to glide beneath the skin, allowing for smooth and precise filler placement with minimal trauma and reduced risk of bruising.
For smaller or more targeted corrections—such as refining bony ridges or smoothing subtle bumps—microinjections using a fine needle may be performed. These small boluses help to sculpt and contour specific zones with accuracy.
Once the filler is placed, gentle massage is applied to blend the product evenly and shape the desired forehead curve and projection. The entire procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes and involves minimal downtime.
Forehead filler injections are generally well tolerated by most patients. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. In some cases, local anaesthesia or nerve block techniques may be used for added pain relief—especially for patients with a lower pain threshold or when larger volumes are required.
The use of a blunt-tip cannula instead of a sharp needle can also help minimise discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pressure or fullness, rather than sharp pain.
Our clinic prioritises patient comfort and uses gentle, precise techniques to ensure a smooth and comfortable treatment experience.
The choice of filler for forehead enhancement depends on your facial structure, degree of volume loss, and how long you’d like the results to last. At our clinic, we use only doctor-selected, medical-grade fillers to ensure optimal safety and natural-looking results.
There are two main categories of fillers commonly used for forehead contouring:
During your consultation, the most appropriate filler type will be recommended based on your skin condition, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals.
The longevity of forehead fillers depends on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and individual treatment goals. In general, results can last anywhere between 12 to 24 months.
Touch-up sessions may be recommended to maintain optimal results over time.
Forehead filler treatments are minimally invasive and typically associated with little to no downtime. However, as with any injectable procedure, mild and temporary side effects can occur. These may include:
These effects usually resolve within a few days. An intensive post-procedure recovery cream may be prescribed to help reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process. To further minimise risk, treatments are performed using techniques that reduce trauma—such as the use of blunt cannulas and careful injection protocols.
Besides the forehead, dermal fillers can be safely and effectively used to restore volume, enhance contours, and improve symmetry in several other areas of the face. Common treatment zones include:
