Forehead Reduction / Hairline Lowering

A More Harmonious Face
A high hairline or long forehead can make facial proportions feel out of balance — especially for patients who constantly style their hair to “cover” the area. Forehead reduction (hairline lowering) is a surgical procedure that advances the hair-bearing scalp forward, reducing forehead height and improving overall harmony. During consultation, scalp laxity and facial measurements help determine how much advancement is safely achievable and what hairline shape will look most natural.
