Forehead reduction...

Robin T.W. Yuan, MD answers: Large forehead after Brow Lift?

Will traditional brow lift leave me with large looking forehead? I want to have excess skin removed from my forehead. This would make my forehead look more in line with the rest of my face. Is that something that can be done? I guess the doctor would have to take strip of skin off the forehead, not in the hairline.

Also, is it possible to do what's called mattress stitching in line with this? This was done when I had both upper and lower eye lids done in 1991. I had no scarring or any sign of anything being done. I am not concerned with the scarring, but it's the large-looking forehead I am concerned with. Again, thank you for your help.

Typically a brow lift performed behind the hairline will increase the height of the forehead. In order to reduce the forehead, you will have to have the browlift performed at the hairline and this may work well in you if you have a nice hairline and are not a male will the risk of male pattern baldness. Males with coarse forehead furrows might be able to have the browlift done with the incision in these furrows.
