Am I a Candidate for Forehead Reduction Procedure? (photo)

I have really huge wide forehead which also sticks out. Bangs don't fit me, I look like 10 years old with them. I'd like to know if it's possible to do forehead reduction on my face or hair transplants would be better? I need to reduce it for 1,5 cm only

A: Forehead Reduction?

Thank you for the question and picture.

Although I see the area of concern,  I think you will be better off without intervention at this time. Of the two options you mention the forehead reduction is a better option  but this does have the downside of a potentially visible scar and  an irregular hairline.

In your case,  I think the advantages of the forehead reduction surgery are outweighed by the potential disadvantages.

Best wishes.

Cost of a Forehead Lift?

What is the price range of a forehead lift, just approximately... is this procedure less cost than a full face lift or more?

A: Cost of Forehead Lift

Thank you for your question.  A forehead lift is normally less than a face/neck lift.

Each surgeon’s fees will be different depending on many factors.  Factors such as the certification of the surgeon, the experience of the surgeon, if the surgery is performed in the office or in a hospital / outpatient surgery center, if performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and who is administering the anesthesia.  Don’t choose your surgeon ONLY by price, make sure they can achieve your goals.

A range would be $6000-$8000.

I hope this helps.

A: Hairline elevation using a forehead or brow lift

A transcoronal surgical browlift, or forehead lift is the most reliable technique for long lasting hairline elevation and it offers other benefits such as removal of the frown line muscles, smoothing of horizontal forehead lines opening up the eyelid area by repositioning excess droopy eyelid skin and raising the eyegbrows. The scars are completely hidden in the hairline. Up to 2 cm elevation is usually possible as long as the eyebrows don't end up too high so this requires an experienced surgeon consulting with the patient properatively to balance this out.

Removing the frontal hair surgically, with LASER, or with electrolysis or shaving or waxing is likely to leave a very unnatural "wiglike" hairline.

Patients should seek out 2 or 3  experienced Ameican Board of Plastic Surgery certified doctors for consultation prior to making a decision.
