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 not recommended

The hairline reduction procedure will unfortunately raise the eyebrows at the expense of lowering the hairline and will be an unacceptable cosmetic result, so it is best not to have any work done.

Forehead Lift Vs. Endoscopic Forehead Lift?

What's the difference between an forehead lift and an endoscopic forehead lift? Which one is better?

A: Different techniques and results

The coronal lift is one long incision across the scalp. The endoscopic approach involves five smaller vertical incisions. With the endoscopic lift is there is less numbness of the scalp postoperatively. While the endoscopic approach will raise the hairline, cannot address the frontalis muscles or dermal atrophy of the corrugator muscles. There is more control of the corrugator muscles with the coronal approach, along with placing fascia grafts underneath the dermal atrophy wrinkles between the eyebrows. The hairline can be brought down in a coronal lift because the skin that is removed can be the non hair-bearing skin.

Brow Lift Vs Forehead Lift: What's the Difference?

I know this seems like a silly question, but I see both terms used and am not sure if they're the same surgery...

A: Browlift and forehead lift are identical operations

There is no difference between a brow lift surgery and a forehead lift surgery.  Just different terms for the same operation that can be done endoscopically or through a coronal approach.
