Should I get forehead reduction surgery and at what age can I get it? (Photo)

Question

I am currently 14 years old and am very insecure with my forehead size and would like for it to be smaller. Would surgery be the best option? Or could I somehow make my hairline lower without it looking weird/awkward? Also what age would I have to be to get this procedure done?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

This can be done at any age with parental consent before 18. However, you do not have an obvious deformity so I would wait until you are mature to divide if this is what you want.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

If you are under 18 years old you need a consent from your parent or guardian to have cosmetic surgery.  If you are unhappy with the appearance of your forehead, speak to your parents first.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

This would be a very young age to do this type of surgery, I would wait until you are at least 18 before considering it as you are still maturing and surgery too early is never a good idea.

Sheldon S. Kabaker, MD FACS (retired) · Answer

The youngest patients I have worked on for a high hairline have been 16 and with parental consent. Hair styles can presently be selected to minimize the forehead's  prominence.
