I am a 23 year old female.I have a very short hairline (almost 2inches). Is there any way of lengthening the forehead with a lift of some sort? If so how much of a gain in length would you see. Please briefty explain the procedure you would suggest. Roughly the cost as well. thanks for any help as I am extremely unhappy with my low hairline.

Answer: Forehead lengthening
I agree that a coronal forehead lift is the best procedure, especially if you need brow elevation as well - but it would be difficult to raise your hairline more than ~ 1cm.

Answer: Forehead lift?
Dear hersheykissy,
A forehead lift is a great surgery, but only in the appropriately selected cases. Surgery is generally preserved as a last resort for most cosmetic issues. A low hairline is not traditionally treated with a forehead lift. This is a difficult question to answer without pictures. First, you must decide the aesthetic ideal placement of your hairline. If it is indeed too low, consider possible hairstyle changes as your hairline will likely lengthen with aging. If you are certain that it is too low and prefer a more immediate change, consider laser hair removal or depilation along the frontal hairline. Tissue expansion of the forehead is an option, but is less than ideal. This essentially involves baloons placed beneath the skin that will stretch and lengthen your tissue. It would be wise to visit one or several board certified plastic surgeons to gain some information and consider your options.
Good luck!!
