If you have inherited a high forehead that looks unbalanced, your appearance can be enhanced with specialized cosmetic surgery. Forehead reduction, or hairline advancement, can create an ideal balance for your upper face, enhancing your appearance.

What is forehead reduction surgery?

Forehead reduction surgery involves moving the hairline downwards, reducing the visible area of your forehead. It is the ideal solution for those who have any of the following facial problems:

Your forehead appears exceptionally large, curved, flat, or tall.
Your hairline is high on your forehead, leaving a larger expanse of skin.
Your forehead appears too prominent.
You try to camouflage a high hairline with bangs or other hairstyles.

How does forehead reduction work?

At Face Austin, we employ the most advanced surgical techniques for this customized surgery. Several approaches may be used, including hair restoration if needed. The procedure may require moving the scalp forward by removing some of the skin so the hairline can be lower on the face. It is performed on both men and women who feel less confident due to an exceptionally high forehead or hairline. It is a surgical procedure that can lower the hairline as much as two inches to create an attractive facial balance. In this surgery, the hairline is advanced, and the forehead shortened through an incision along the hairline. In some cases, the incision may be placed within the hairline.

What is the recovery time?

You can expect some swelling or numbness after your surgery, which will reduce in the days ahead. You should plan on taking several days to a week off work or other activities. The stitches will be removed in about one week, with a full recovery requiring about two to three weeks.

You must avoid lifting, bending, and other more vigorous activities until given our surgeon’s approval. Some patients choose the addition of hair transplants to complete the final look.
