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

Well done forehead reduction works.
Hi.
1) I understand exactly what you mean, and a forehead reduction (advancing the scalp forward) will probably make your face look more balanced. This becomes a more important issue as you get older.
2) Surgery is fairly simple and quite safe, with a one week recovery.
3) Hair transplants definitely not a good idea.

Candidates for Forehead Reduction by lowering hairline
Since you have a high hair line/receding hair line, the incision would be made at the hair line. By using a beveling incision technique under magnification to preserve maximum hair follicles, the scar will be minimized as individual hairs will grow into the scar camouflaging it in many cases so that you could wear your hair pulled back. In other cases the scar may be visible but in that case micrografts could hide it.

You appear to be a good candidate for a forehead reduction. There is a way to perform the procedure without significant brow elevation.

Am I a Candidate for Forehead Reduction Procedure?
Yes it's possible but you will never wear you hair like that again IMHO. I have performed Brow Lifts for well over 20 years and have seen patients who have had the front hairline incision done elsewhere. Even when beautifully healed, the hairline looks like it was drawn on with a white marking pen. The villous hairs that break up the hairline are removed and the hairline appears straight and unnautural. It might be best for you to learn the proper...

Forehead reduction
Thank you for the question and the photo. Forehead reduction involves removing the skin at your hairline and is an option for you but you should understand the risks, the most common of which is the scar along the hairline. If you are willing to accept this, it is a great option to balance your face.

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.

There is no free ride
Your high forehead can be reduced. The hairline incision is camoflagued but not invisible. Your scalp laxity, evaluated before the surgery in consultation, will forcast whether you are at risk for the incision/scar to widen and or inadvertant brow elevation as a result of the closure tension. With or without surgery hair styles can emphasize and de-emphasize aspects of your face. See your surgeon but also see a good hair stylist!!

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 Reduction Surgery
While technically you may be a candidate for a forehead reduction procedure, I feel that neither hair transplant nor forehead reduction surgery would be a prudent choice for you.
Your skin is quite tight and therefore despite using undulating hairline incisions, you may end up with an unacceptable scar, an unnatural hairline or both.

Forehead Reduction
You are an excellent candidate for a forehead reduction. It is difficult to achieve a natural result using hair transplants. That is why we developed the Irregular Trichohytic Hairline incision to lower the hairline and reduce the forehead. With this technique, a lady achieves normal uniform hair density at the new hairline and total freedom of styling. I refer you to our website for a description of the surgery and a photo gallery of results.

You are a candidate for forehead reduction
Based on the picture, you have a tall forehead (or a high hairline). If you do not want to wear bangs, have forward growing hair and average scalp laxity or better, you can have a one stage hairline lowering procedure that can be undetectable . Hair transplants are an alternative. I would think you might benefit from greater than 1.5cm of lowering of your hairline.

OK, you have a long forehead.
Hair grafting, forehead reduction? Seriously, forgettaboutit. First you are very attractive with a natural hair line. The likelihood that a hair grafter can put in a hair line that won't look like something unnatural is low. The reality that making an artful hair line that is as soft as your natural hair line is just about zero. Unfortunately a forehead reduction has a similar issue. The idea is that forehead tissue is removed just below the hairline....
