Redefining Facial Balance with Surgical Hairline Advancement

Hairline lowering is a surgical procedure that carefully advances the hairline to reduce forehead height by approximately 1 to 2 centimeters in a single session. By repositioning the scalp, this technique creates a natural, proportional look that aligns with your unique facial features. Performed by a Foundation Aesthetic Hair Restoration Method-trained surgeon, this minimally invasive surgery ensures seamless, long-lasting results with minimal scarring. In some cases, a brow lift can be combined with hairline lowering to further enhance facial symmetry.

How the Procedure Works

Hairline lowering surgery is a precise, advanced procedure designed to create a natural-looking transition between the forehead and hairline. The process includes:

  • Consultation & Evaluation: Your surgeon will assess scalp elasticity and hairline stability to determine if you are an ideal candidate.
  • Surgical Planning: The procedure is tailored to your desired forehead height while preserving natural hair growth.
  • Procedure Execution: Under local or general anesthesia, an incision is made along the hairline, the scalp is advanced forward, and excess forehead skin is removed.
  • Closure & Healing: Specialized techniques ensure minimal scarring while preserving hair follicles for natural hair growth over the incision site.

This procedure typically takes less than 2 hours, and most patients return home the same day.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Hairline Lowering?

Hairline advancement is ideal for individuals with naturally high foreheads or those who feel their hairline is disproportionate to their facial features. The best candidates:

  • Have a stable hairline with no significant risk of future hair loss.
  • Have good scalp flexibility, allowing for a natural advancement of the hairline.
  • Are prepared for a surgical procedure and understand the healing process.

Common candidates include:

  • Women with naturally high foreheads seeking a more proportional look.
  • Men without active hair loss who want to reduce forehead height.
  • Individuals correcting scarring from previous transplants.
  • Patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, looking to restore their hairline.

A Permanent Solution for a More Confident You

Unlike hair transplants, which require multiple sessions, hairline lowering surgery offers immediate, lasting results. In some cases, additional hair grafting can be performed a few months after surgery to refine the hairline or conceal the incision further.

Patients can expect:

  • A balanced, proportionate facial appearance.
  • Greater hair density than hair transplants alone.
  • A quick recovery, with sutures removed after 1 week.
  • Minimal downtime, with most returning to normal activities within a few days.
