High Wide Forehead Reduction Possible?

Forehead reduction

I do over 50 of these operations per year strictly to reduce a high (or tall) forehead or to lower a high hairline. It is the same operation, just phrased differently, to address the patent's perception. It is not completely simple ,as is suggested by some , for there are numerous subtle details. Candidates have to have a flexible scalp and there are certain limitations as to how much reduction is possible in a one stage operation. Also, some patients might need... more

Forehead Reduction?

Thank you for the question. Reduction of the forehead is possible by performing a hairline incision forehead lift procedure. This type of forehead lift removes non-hair bearing scalp and “lowers” the hairline. It is a useful operation for patients who have “long foreheads” and wish to undergo forehead lifting for any reason. I hope this helps.

Browlifts are Great For Reducing The Large Forehead

I perform about 80% of my browlifts using what is called a trichophytic incision.  This incision is done along the first row of hairs at the top of the forehead, pulling the brows up and the hairline down.  Because of a special beveling technique I use with the incision, the scar ends up with hair growing right through it.  As a result, the scar darn near becomes invisible once healing is done and you not only have higher eyebrows, but a lower hairline and shorter forehead... more

Forehead Reduction Options

Female forehead reduction is a necessary tool in brow reduction. Essentially a scar is placed just anterior to the hairline. The scalp and hair is elevated and released, allowing it to be pulled forward. The release of the scalp is called a galeotomy. While doing this, the brows can be elevated and lifted. Despite extensive dissection, the tight nature of the scalp usually allows for about 2 cm of reduction. This can be determined preoperatively by feeling how mobile the scalp is. Note this... more
