For individuals who feel that their forehead is disproportionately large, hairline lowering surgery offers a permanent, natural-looking solution. Also known as forehead reduction or surgical hairline advancement (SHA), this procedure creates a more balanced facial appearance, enhancing confidence and improving overall facial harmony.
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.
