How far can my hairline be lowered? (Photo)

Question

I previously had a hairline reduction 4 years ago and not much lowering was achieved. I’m wondering if I’m a good candidate for another one and how far it can be lowered. I was wanting an inch but if that can’t be obtained at least half an inch. I don’t feel like I can move my scalp around very much.

Hello, hope you're doing well. In all likelihood, that is a reasonable goal (0.5 inch reduction may be more realistic than a full inch). It's somewhat difficult to judge from an image alone. I would recommend advancing as far possible with an additional surgery and then hair grafting afterward to conceal the scar and make up any difference in the desired hairline position.

Best,

You seem to be a generally suitable candidate for forehead reduction surgery, but in order to determine exactly how much can be lowered, a physical examination is necessary. Factors like the elasticity of the scalp, any scars from previous surgery, and skin tension will play a significant role in determining how effective the procedure can be. Therefore, the physical examination is a very important step.
Forehead reduction surgery involves removing excess skin from the forehead area to lower the hairline. The procedure requires careful planning to achieve a natural result and should be tailored to each individual.
