Options For a Wide Forehead Reduction?

I've read that it is possible with hair transplants, but is there any other way? I've heard there's a way to lower your foreheads length by making an incision in the fine hairs, and putting the forehead skin over it and it'll grow through the scar, or something. Is this procedure possible when attempting to reduce a foreheads width?

A: Wide Forehead Reduction

The height of the forehead can be reduced by burying an incision in the fine hairs at the hairline after lowering the frontal hairline, a technique that we developed many years ago. However, this does not work along the temporal hairline to decrease the forehead width because of the direction of hair growth at the sides of the forehead. Hair transplants can be placed but do not look natural. Unfortunately there is no way to effectively reduce the forehead width.

Forehead Narrowing Possible? (photo)

Is there a surgical method to reduce the width of the forehead to appear like the girl in the right? Could the areas marked by the blue arrows be narrowed down? I would like it to appear as wide as the red arrows indicate. Or is this surgically impossible?

A: I think you have to consider the potential risks of any procedure.

When dealing with someone who is very attractive, one must ask if surgery will help make the person look better or not.  Often in this situation, there is very little room make an improvement.  Often these types of changes actually end up making that person look worse not better.  Is it possible to make your forehead less wide-yes.  However, this will also make you look older.  May advice here is to be careful what you look for.

Is It Possible to Get a Forehead Reduction Surgery Without an Eyebrow Lift?

I was thinking that maybe I can get some type of transplant to expand the skin on my forehead, then go weeks later to get forehead reduction surgery, and since the skin on my forehead has already been expanded, the surgery will not pull on my eyebrows. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to reduce both the width and length of my forehead in one procedure? If not, would it require multiple procedures?

A: Forehead Reduction Surgery

Years ago we developed a hairline lowering procedure to decrease the height of the forehead. If the scalp is tight, we sometimes expand the scalp as a preliminary procedure. It is not necessary to raise the eye brows but this can be done as part of the procedure if the brows are in poor position. Go to my website for a description of this procedure and examples of surgical results.
