Am I a good candidate for hairline lowering or Forehead Reduction? (photos)

Question

28, female. I have a large, masculine looking forehead. I would like to have my hairline lowered a bit and rounded out to a more feminine shape. Am I a good candidate for hairline lowering / forehead reduction? I may also be interested in a brow lift / reduction in conjunction with that. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

Patients with a hairline like yours, often seek hairline lowering procedures in my practice.  One important aspect of determining if you are a candidate is to perform facial third measurements.  I cannot really comment on that for you since you did not post a picture of your entire face.  Brow lift opinions will also have to be withheld since I can't see your entire eye complex to know if that would be a good idea for you.

Hairline Lowering with Browlift for a more feminine and attractive appearance. I invented the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift with Hairline Lowering and have done more than 3000. If properly done you will not see the scar. Make sure you see the actual hairline with the hair pulled back.

Dear alyssak13,
Based on your photos, you would be an excellent candidate for forehead reduction, however your brow position seems normal so I would not recommend brow lifting unless you are interested in an exaggerated brow arch.

Based on your photos you are a good candidate, with good hairline density to camouflage  the hairline lowering scar at the base of the hair follicles. You have a small "widow's peak" on your right--that can be closed--- but the left side was not included in your photos. The amount of hairline lowering is determined in consultation with the patient, and takes into account  the lengthening potential of the scalp as well as the looking at the face as a whole; the forehead(upper facial third) should be proportional to the remainder of the face.
You brow height looks aesthetic from what I can see(the eyes are cut off); brow shaping(arch) and position can be performed non surgically as an office procedure using a radiofrequency procedure I developed.
Let me know if you have any additional questions

With a vertically long forehead a hairline advancement procedure would be one effective way to shorten. The more relevant question are by how much does it need to move (your ideal new hairline location and shape) and whether your natural scalp elasticity has the ability to be released and reach it.
