Forehead Reduction Surgery in Seoul

What Is Forehead Reduction Surgery?

Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the vertical height of the forehead. This is typically achieved by surgically advancing the hairline to create a smaller, more proportionate forehead that enhances facial harmony. It’s a popular choice for individuals with a naturally high hairline or those experiencing hairline recession.

Who Is It For?

This procedure is ideal for:

• Individuals with a naturally high or long forehead
• Patients seeking a more balanced facial ratio
• People with stable hair growth and no active hair loss
• Those desiring permanent hairline advancement over non-surgical options

Procedure Overview

1. Consultation & Design: Your surgeon will evaluate your facial structure, hairline shape, and goals to design a natural-looking new hairline.
2. Anesthesia: General anesthesia or sedation is typically used.
3. Incision & Skin Removal: An incision is made along the hairline. A strip of forehead skin is carefully removed, and the scalp is gently advanced.
4. Hairline Advancement: The hair-bearing scalp is brought forward and sutured into place, effectively reducing forehead height.
5. Closure: Stitches are made with care to minimize scarring and preserve hair follicles along the hairline.

Benefits

• Immediate and permanent reduction in forehead height
• More youthful, balanced facial appearance
• Hairline is adjusted to match gender-specific or personal aesthetic goals
• Can be combined with other procedures such as brow lift

Considerations & Recovery

• Scarring: The incision is made along the hairline and typically heals well, though scar visibility varies by individual.
• Swelling & Bruising: Some swelling may occur, usually resolving within a week.
• Downtime: Most patients return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks.
• Hair Growth: Hair regrowth through and around the incision line helps camouflage any scars.
