Refining Your Features with Hairline Lowering

A high forehead can take attention away from your most defining facial features, affecting overall harmony and confidence. However, with the expertise of a skilled surgeon trained in the Foundation Aesthetic Hair Restoration Method, hairline lowering can provide a lasting solution. Also known as forehead reduction or Surgical Hairline Advancement (SHA), this procedure reduces the size of the forehead by advancing the hairline forward, creating a more balanced and proportionate appearance. For those who feel their forehead is too high, this surgery offers an aesthetic transformation that enhances facial symmetry while maintaining a natural look.

Surgical Hairline Advancement (SHA) for Facial Harmony

Hairline lowering is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that repositions the hairline lower on the forehead, reducing forehead height by 1 to 2 centimeters in a single session.

  • Performed under local anesthesia for maximum comfort.
  • Can be combined with a brow lift to enhance overall facial aesthetics.
  • Ideal for both men and women seeking a more balanced appearance.

The results? A natural-looking hairline that blends seamlessly with your facial structure, enhancing confidence and helping you look and feel your best.

Are You a Candidate for Hairline Lowering?

To achieve successful hairline advancement, certain conditions must be met:

  • A Stable Hairline: If you are experiencing active hair loss, alternative treatments like hair grafting may be more appropriate.
  • Scalp Flexibility: Adequate scalp elasticity is necessary for hairline advancement.
  • Surgical Readiness: As this is a surgical procedure, candidates should be prepared for a permanent, transformative result.

While many candidates are women with naturally high hairlines, other ideal patients include:

  • Men without ongoing or future hair loss concerns.
  • Individuals who have had previous hair transplants and wish to refine or further lower their hairline.
  • Patients with scarring from prior hair restoration procedures seeking corrective treatment.
  • Those with frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition that results in hairline recession.

By working with a Foundation method-trained hair restoration surgeon, you can be confident that your surgical plan is tailored to your needs, ensuring optimal results.

A Smaller Forehead, A Bigger Boost in Confidence

Hairline advancement reduces forehead height by removing excess forehead skin, while keeping the eyebrows in place unless a brow lift is requested. This procedure can be combined with:

  • Brow Lifts – To lift sagging brows for a more youthful look.
  • Frontal Bone Reduction – Reshaping the forehead bone to refine your profile.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes less than 2 hours.

  • A strategic incision is made along the hairline, preserving hair follicles to ensure new growth conceals the scar.
  • The scalp is gently advanced forward and secured with dissolvable Endotine® clips, which disappear within 6 months.
  • The incision is meticulously closed using advanced plastic surgery techniques, promoting optimal healing and minimal scarring.

Reveal a More Confident You

Compared to multiple hair transplant sessions, forehead reduction surgery achieves greater hair density in a fraction of the time.

  • Return home the same day after surgery.
  • Head wrap removed on day 2, allowing hair to be brushed forward to conceal sutures.
  • Resume normal activities within a week, including exercise.
  • Fly home the day after surgery, with follow-up care easily arranged.

While many patients love the density and shape of their hairline after one procedure, some choose additional hair grafting for enhanced refinement. Hair grafting can be done as early as 3 months post-surgery. When you choose a Foundation method-trained surgeon, your treatment is fully customized to meet your aesthetic goals.
