I'm a female in my 30's with a square,flat somewhat high forehead.Along with having a square jaw, as I get older, both are making my face appear masculine.I'm interested in the reverse brow lift for lifting around my eyes & lowering of my hairline but wondering if it's possible to "round-out" my forehead during this procedure to a more feminine look.

Forehead reshaping and Browlift in Asians

The forehead can be lowered. it also depends on what you are referring to. If you have prominent brow bones, these can be shaved. If the hair line is to high, then we bring the hair bearing area forward. There are several methods but the best is a using a specialized "balloon" to expand the hair bearing skin and then bringing the new skin forward in a 2 staged procedure.

Achieve with hair grafting

The hairline advancement/forehead shortening procedure usually does not permit rounding out of the hairline- instead, this can be subsequently achieved with hair grafting performed several weeks later. Depending on the laxity of the scalp, the hairline can be advanced by anywhere from ½ an inch to as much as almost 2 inches, but the occasional patient will choose to have balloon tissue expansion to permit further advancement.

Reverse forehead lift, lowering the hairline

All the the procedures you mentioned could be performed. It is difficult to counsel you without actually seeing photographs. I can usually bring down the hairline about 1 and one half inches.

Hairline Lowering

Many years ago we developed and described a technique to lower the female hairline. A browlift can be done and the frown lines treated with this procedure if necessary. I refer you to our website for a more complete description. I won't recommend treatment of your "square jawline" or the bulging forehead vein without seeing you or facial pictures.

Reverse forehead lift to reshape a flat forehead

A customized implant could be inserted with the operation that lowers the hairline, lifts the brows and removes some of the frown muscles. It may also be possible to ligate a prominent vein of the forehead. You might also want to address the square masculine chin you describe.
