Forehead Reduction Surgery in Seoul
Lower Your Hairline, Enhance Facial Balance
What Is Forehead Reduction Surgery?
Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the vertical height of the forehead. This is typically achieved by surgically advancing the hairline to create a smaller, more proportionate forehead that enhances facial harmony. It’s a popular choice for individuals with a naturally high hairline or those experiencing hairline recession.
Who Is It For?
This procedure is ideal for:
- Individuals with a naturally high or long forehead
- Patients seeking a more balanced facial ratio
- People with stable hair growth and no active hair loss
- Those desiring permanent hairline advancement over non-surgical options
Procedure Overview
- Consultation & Design: Your surgeon will evaluate your facial structure, hairline shape, and goals to design a natural-looking new hairline.
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia or sedation is typically used.
- Incision & Skin Removal: An incision is made along the hairline. A strip of forehead skin is carefully removed, and the scalp is gently advanced.
- Hairline Advancement: The hair-bearing scalp is brought forward and sutured into place, effectively reducing forehead height.
- Closure: Stitches are made with care to minimize scarring and preserve hair follicles along the hairline.
Benefits
- Immediate and permanent reduction in forehead height
- More youthful, balanced facial appearance
- Hairline is adjusted to match gender-specific or personal aesthetic goals
- Can be combined with other procedures such as brow lift
Considerations & Recovery
- Scarring: The incision is made along the hairline and typically heals well, though scar visibility varies by individual.
- Swelling & Bruising: Some swelling may occur, usually resolving within a week.
- Downtime: Most patients return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks.
- Hair Growth: Hair regrowth through and around the incision line helps camouflage any scars.
