Options for reducing a wide forehead? my forehead is too big for my face in width, any effective ways to reduce it?

Question

My forehead is too wide and i feel that my temples are too far away from my eyes, making my eyes look too small for my face, I've done some research and was considering a hair transplant but apparently they do not look natural and there is no real effective way to reduce the 'width' of the forehead? Is there any other ways that i could possibly take the attention off my big forehead? Would a brow lift make much difference?

Generally speaking, the best way to reduce a wide forehead is through hair transplant. This allows for customization of the hairline, narrowing the width of the forehead, and also lowering the hairline. Be sure to see an expert to review all of the options in detail.Best,

Many patients who complain of a wide forehead, also have a high forhead.  Hairline lowering may help based on facial measurements and forehead slope.  The forehead can also be changed by rounding the hairline with hair transplants with or without hairline lowering.  Most patients undergoing hair transplants by a reputable surgeon, do achieve natural results.

One way to reduce a wide forehead is to have hair transplant surgery to the temple area to narrow the look of your forehead.

By your screen name we would assume you are female. I use follicular unit transplants with donor grafts of fine hair to match the natural temple hairs. If the forehead is also high, in addition to being wide, I do a hairline lowering operation in the same sitting.
