Many patients are bothered by a prominent forehead, and this is most commonly bothersome to patients due to the amount of skin that exposed and a very high hairline. If the hairline is moved down (shortening the forehead), then the shape of the forehead usually is much less of a concern. The hairline can be moved down through two different techniques.The first technique is a hairline advancement (also known as a scalp advancement, forehead reduction, etc) where an incision is made along the frontal hairline and the scalp is moved forward in order to remove some of the excess skin and lower the hairline. The advantage of this technique is that the results are immediate and the hairline is moved down quickly. The primary disadvantage is that there is a scar along the frontal hairline (that almost always blends in very nicely and becomes hard to find).The second technique to lower the hairline is through hair transplantation. In this case, grafts are harvested from the back of the scalp and used to advance the hairline down. The primary advantage of this technique is that it does not result in any linear scarring along the frontal hairline. The primary disadvantage is that it takes 9-12 months to see the results of the first hair transplant session, and many patients will go on to desire a second session in order to achieve even greater density along the frontal hairline. Both choices are great options, and it really comes down to the patient's lifestyle and preference. Be sure to see a surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery procedures and hair restoration in order to review all of these options in detail and optimize your results.All the best,

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.
