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?
As you mentioned there are two ways to shorten the forehead
1: hair transplant
2: Forehead lift through an incision infront the hairline, the incision is beveled so that one preserve some hair follicles that will grow within the scar to lessen the appearance of the sacr infront the hailine. You will still see the incision without bangs. This an also be comoufaged by hair transolant a year later by hair transplant.
In very rare cases, where significant decrease i the hairline is needed or in people who had previous forehead lift resulting in a wide forehead, one may need tissue expansion of the scalp and advancing the hair bearing scalp. this will need fixation with absorbable screws or Coapt devise.
I'll also need a skin expanding implant to help reduce the length of it. Can this all be done in one sitting (excluding the 6 weeks of skin expansion)? I've read that I need to graft hair from the donor site to cover the scar on my hairline, and just graft hair to the sides of my forehead to reduce the width, which causes no scarring. Isn't there a laser surgery, dermabrasion, or peel that can remove scars? Or at least from the epidermis so it won't be visible.
First to do is the insertion of tissue expander, if you need it.
Second surgery is removal of tissue expander, burring the frontal bossing, sometimes in certain foreheads one can also use acelluar matrix on top of the bone to make it more smooth, advancing the hair bearing scalp to narrow the forhead. you will need a fixation devise to stabilize the forhead in the position wanted. Use absorbale screws, or absorbable coapt.
The cost will vary on the devises needed like the acellular matrix ($1000-2000), coapt( $750), the tissue expander (about $2000),The burr( $ 200-500), plus surgical fees, anesthesia fees, and facility fees.
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?
Reducing the wide forehead is dependant on how much is needed to reuce the width. Hair transplant is limited by the amount of reduction needed and laxity of the scalp.
advancement of the scalp with wo without tissue expansion depend on the findings during the physical examination.It is possible to reduce the forehead without lifting the eye brow. But the skin needs to be stabilized so that the brow does not move. One can reduce the visibility of the scar afterwords with hair transplant to the scarand slightly infront of it.
