Create a Balanced Look by Reducing a High Forehead with Precision Surgery
Hairline lowering surgery, also known as forehead reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that shortens the height of the forehead by advancing the natural hairline downward. This technique is especially popular among individuals with a high hairline or a disproportionately long forehead who are seeking a more balanced facial appearance.
The procedure is tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure, taking into consideration hair density, scalp flexibility, and overall aesthetic goals. It’s commonly performed as a standalone treatment or combined with forehead contouring or brow lift surgery for enhanced results.
The surgery begins with a pre-traced incision along the natural hairline. The surgeon carefully removes a strip of forehead skin and advances the scalp downward to reposition the hairline. Once the new position is achieved, the scalp is sutured in place using techniques designed to minimize visible scarring.
Because the incision is made at the hairline, the new hair growth can eventually help conceal the scar, resulting in a more natural outcome.
Hairline lowering surgery is ideal for individuals who:
It’s suitable for both men and women, though those with thicker frontal hair growth tend to achieve the best aesthetic outcomes.
Patients can expect mild swelling and tightness during the first few days. Sutures are typically removed within 5–7 days, and most people return to work and normal routines within 7–10 days. Hair will begin growing through and around the incision over the next few months, gradually masking any signs of surgery.
The results are permanent and offer a more harmonious balance between the forehead and facial features.
