Forehead Lift: Q&A

Im 20 Years Old, Male, and Considering Forehead Reduction Surgery. What is the Process? (photo)
I've seen some websites for Bev Hills doctors that look good. I was wondering how much it would cost, and the whole planning process. My parent would cover the cost. Once we contact a doctor and decide what to do, is it as easy as flying over there and getting it done? Thanks! Sending pics to. I don't really know alot about this process other than what google has shown me, thanks for the help guys!

Receding male hairline
Hair transplantation is the best option for you. As a young male you do not want scars on the forehead that cannot be reversed. You can get a smaller forehead with proper hair transplantation in the receding hairline. If you do not like the hair transplant, down the road you can always get a skin excision with forehead reduction. This way you have not burnt any bridges.

Consider Hair Transplants

Males Not Good Forehead Reduction Candidates
You are not a candidate for forehead reduction surgery as almost no males ever are. With your unstable and receding hairline, you need to consider hair transplantation. Forehead reduction by skin excision requires a stable frontal hairline with good follicular density.

Forehead reduction in young man
It looks like your hairline is receding and that may be due to male pattern baldness. I would suggest you consider hair transplants first or no surgery at all at your age. However, if transplants are done with strip harvesting, a forehead reduction at a later date may be risky due to circulation changes. FUE may be the better way to harvest grafts if you are considering a later forehead reduction. If there are extenuating lifestyle circumstances, I would consider otherwise.

For forehead reduction you have several options depending on how much you want to lower the hairline.
1: Hair transplant
2: Incision infront of the hairline and advance the hair bearing scalp foreward, may advance one inch
3: incision infront of the hair line and lift the scalp all the way back then advance will give more advancement of the hair line.
if you want much advancement, then using a tissue expander in the scalp, after expansion can advance a lot.This is a two stage...
