Lowering hairline is possible

As mentioned previously, a trichophytic [hairline] incision made at the hairline will allow the incision to be nearly invisible, however, pulling your hair back in a tight ponytail may make the scar somewhat visible.

Forehead reduction

I do perform forehead reduction for selected patients. This is what most patient need. The ideal distance between the brow and forehead is 6 to 6.5 cm. An inch of hairline lowering is more than adequate for most patients. To learn more and see photos, please visit the link below.

Reducing a large forehead

If you have adequate laxity of the forehead and scalp, the hairline could be lowered to the level you desire in a one step operation. The scar is rarely a problem . If you also want the forehead narrower, follicular unit hair transplants can be done in the same operative session.

Lowering the hairline is possible

There are the risks of a conspicuous scar but people who needs this procedure generally happy with their result.
