Yes you may be a good candidate for Forehead reduction surgery depending on the elasticity of your scalp. Having done more than 5000 of these using the procedure, I invented called the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead lift and Hairline Lowering you are a candidate for this. Make sure you see an experience surgeon who can show you photos of his work with the hair pulled totally back.

Although the full facial proportions are not visible in the photo, it’s clear that your forehead appears quite wide.One way to reduce the size of the forehead is through forehead reduction surgery.Typically, the ideal forehead length is considered to be the width of three fingers placed vertically above the eyebrows.In your case, the upper portion of the face appears larger due to the extended forehead, so we recommend forehead reduction if you're looking to achieve a smaller, more balanced facial appearance.Forehead reduction involves bringing the hairline forward by excising skin along the hairline.The incision is placed at the hairline, and while a scar will remain, it generally fades and improves over time.

Based on your facial structure and current proportions, I believe you are a good candidate for a forehead reductionprocedure. This surgery could create a more balanced and harmonious appearance overall. Of course, the best decision can be made after a thorough in-person consultation and examination, but from your photos, it seems that this procedure would suit you well and help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

I do many of these procedures. You are a candidate if you wish, but don't need to have it. Your forehead shape looks attractive. If it bothers you, it can be changed.
