What is Forehead Reduction?

Forehead Reduction, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the height of a prominent forehead, creating a more balanced facial appearance. This can be due to genetics or a naturally high hairline, which may cause self-consciousness for some individuals.

How is Forehead Reduction Performed?

The procedure involves making an incision along the natural hairline. The scalp is then advanced forward to reduce the forehead size, and the excess skin is removed. The incision is closed with fine sutures, leaving a scar that is typically well-concealed by hair. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2-3 hours.

Who is a Good Candidate?

• Individuals with a high forehead
• Those who are unhappy with their hairline height
• Patients without significant hair loss or thinning

Recovery Process

Some swelling and bruising are normal after the procedure but usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their regular activities within 7-10 days. Full recovery and the final results may take a few months to fully manifest.
