There are doctors who offer surgeries that can shave the forehead. These are often plastic surgeons of maxillofacial surgeons. There are two types of procedures for lowering a woman’s hairline which might help in your situation.. One, is a surgical excision of the upper forehead followed by the downward advancement of the hairline up to an inch from where it was prior to the surgery. To accomplish this, the entire scalp from the frontal hairline to the very back of the crown, is lifted up and pulled forward. When this is done by an experienced surgeon, the hairline can often be advanced about 2/3rd – 1 inch if there is enough looseness when this lifting process is done. This procedure is often complete in one surgical session; however, it may not address receded corners of the hairline if the corner recession is significant. A great advantage of this surgical approach is the immediate impact of the procedure on hairline location with healing usually complete in a week or so. Sometimes this procedure produces a scar in front of the hairline, and if this is this is the case, a hair transplant in front of the hairline can address the scar. If there is corner rounding that is not addressed by the surgical lowering, then hair transplants can address this very well. Hair transplants take 7-8 months to fully grow out.
The vertical portion of your frontal bone is short. An implant could be fashioned and placed next to the bone to make it appear that this portion of your skull is taller. Another approach, which I quite commonly perform, is to lower the hairline.
