Can I Get Forehead Augmentation with PMMA Bone Cement?

Q: Dr. Eppley, How much is forehead augmentation with PMMA bone cement?

A: As a general rule the use of PMMA bone cement is an almost historic method of forehead augmentation due to issues with getting a smooth shape to the forehead,and the need for a bicoronal scalp incision needed top adequately place. As a result the use of PMMA in the forehead has largely been replaced with custom implant designs. There may still be a role for PMMA in forehead augmentation in very select cases where the augmentation is limited.

I would have to see pictures of your forehead and what your goals are to see what is the appropriate type of forehead augmentation material.
