It is not possible to make the forehead longer without raising the eyebrows. With natural aging, the hairline does tend to recede over time so it is best to wait for the normal aging process.

Making a short forehead larger.

Yes, we do this quite frequently over the past 30 years by making an incision in the scalp and raising the hairline. The scar should be fine and hidden in the hair.
