Forehead Reduction & Hairline Lowering
Hair loss and hair thinning come in several different forms and appear in different ways. For many people, this shows itself as a receding hairline and the appearance of an increasingly high forehead. When faced with this pattern of hair loss, one option worth considering is forehead reduction surgery – also known as hairline lowering surgery.
What Is Forehead Reduction & Hairline Lowering?
This procedure is a form of plastic surgery in which the area of the scalp that still has hair is brought forward – reducing the gap between eyebrows and hairline. This usually involves advancing the hairline by approximately one to three centimeters.
The incision is made so that hair can grow through it after healing, allowing the already nearly invisible line to be further obscured. In most patients, there are no visible signs of the procedure after the first month or so.
Another advantage of forehead reduction hair transplant surgery is the fact that it is an outpatient procedure… minimizing its impact on your daily schedule. Forehead reduction is proven to provide fuller and more immediate results than hair transplants can.
Can a Hair Transplant Make Your Forehead Look Smaller?
Hairline lowering moves a high hairline forward, physically closing the distance between hairline and eyebrows. It is a procedure with a high satisfaction rate among patients and studies have noted that the effects were both immediate and lasting over the long term.
If your hairline is uneven (or shows signs of hair thinning), a hair transplant is another option that can help. Using either our ARTAS iXi® or NeoGraft® systems – the absolute cutting-edge technology in FUE transplants – we can transplant hair from a donor site at the back of your head to the affected area to create a fuller, more even appearance.
