I have had insecurities about how long my face is since I was eleven. I frequently participate in musicals, and would like to do it professionally, but I feel like my looks will get in the way of my success. One of my main concerns is throwing off my facial balance. I’m afraid if I get a forehead reduction, my chin will end up looking huge! I’ve also considered injections to increase facial symmetry along with the reduction. Thank you very much for your time !
Answer: Forehead reduction for a long face Forehead reduction surgery is a good option for reducing the forehead size in a patient with a longer face and a large forehead, as long as proper facial proportions are maintained. I would not recommend having any surgery performed in order to improve any personal or professional life situations. I encourage my patients to have surgery only if they desire to do the procedure for themselves (not for anyone else) and have the resources (such as adequate friend/family support, time off work, financial resources, etc) to have the procedure comfortably and without undue stress.

Answer: Hairline lowering for a more balanced face etc. Hairline lowering for a more balanced face etc. yes your hairline can be lowered with direct advancement which will be more dense and look more natural than hair transplants. Your lower face should be evaluated by and orthognathic maxillofacial surgeon to determine what your occlusion is and to put that in balance. A chin implant should not be done without that consultation. Is her procedure can be done independent of the other by an expert in that field. Make sure you see the hairline that results with an Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Incision which if properly done will not leave a noticeable scar.

Answer: Facial balance Greta, You do have a forehead that is larger than average, and a forehead reduction/hairline advancement would help to balance it out. Based on the photos you do have a strong jaw. A well defined jaw is attractive, but it is a fine line between defined and masculine. You may want to consider a chin implant to slightly advance and refine the chin, and at the same trimming a small amount of bone from the bottom of your jaw. This type of procedure isn't common, so find an experienced surgeon who can show you a lot of their past jaw work. -Dr. Rolfes
