During weight gain, your face shows signs of increasing fat deposits as well as the rest of your body. Fat can accumulate in the forehead causing wrinkling due to an increase in folding of the skin. In order to reduce fat deposits in the forehead, lifestyle and cosmetic changes may be required depending on the severity of the weight gain and the skin's elasticity. Always consult a licensed dermatologist or plastic surgeon before undergoing any treatments to reduce forehead fat.
Step 1
Exercise your facial muscles daily. Wrinkle your forehead, raising your eyebrows and hold for the count of ten then release. Repeat for 15 repetitions, slowly working your count up each week. According to the Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery, facial exercise tones facial muscles and increases blood flow. These exercises used for the forehead help relieve tension, reduce fat and remedy skin folds resulting from fat deposits.
Step 2
Drink nine or more glasses of water per day to flush the skin of toxins that contribute to fatty distributions. Water also provides needed moisture that makes wrinkling and dry skin less noticeable. According to Good Housekeeping, being dehydrated can cause bloating of the face making the forehead and cheeks look fatter.
Step 3
Eat a balanced diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy. Healthy eating habits will keep your weight in check and help you lose any extra baggage you may be carrying, especially in the forehead, cheeks and chin. Weight loss is not targeted to one specific area of the body, so losing weight in general will reduce forehead fat as well.
Step 4
Opt for a cosmetic forehead and brow lift. This procedure is done by a licensed plastic surgeon on an outpatient basis and using local anesthesia, according to the English Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center. Incisions are made at or above the hairline and the skin is stretched upwards to smooth out the forehead. Excess skin and fat is then surgically removed, and the incision is sutured for proper healing. Recovery time depends on each individual.
Step 5
Use alternative seasonings and avoid salt in your diet. Salt dehydrates the body and leads to facial bloating, according to Good Housekeeping. Restricting sodium from processed foods will also help cut salt intake down to a minimum. Fresh non-processed foods are ideal for sodium-restricted dieting.
