Does it look like my hairline is receding? My forehead is sloped, boney. I'm wondering what procedures can feminize it?(photo)

Question

I've never noticed my forehead being as big as it is now and I'm noticing that one side is higher than the other ..my forehead is also boney and slanted/flat which doesn't look feminine at all. I was wondering if there's a procedure that can help fix this problem or make it seem less manly/caveman-like. I'm only 18 and I'm scared this will become worse.

Photos don't show receding hair line or "caveman-like" appearance. You may not happy with your look but the photos do not show an abnormal forehead .  There are cosmetic surgeries that you can explore.  However, you should take caution before considering cosmetic surgery and understand what is possible and what is realistic.

Kevin Ende, MD · Answer

There are many factor used to determine if a hairline lowering procedure is appropriate such as facial 1/3 measurements, position of the hairline, etc..  Taking these measurements in the office and discussing them with the surgeon can be very helpful in understanding what is going on.  Sometimes the slope of the forehead can cause the hairline to look high even if it isn't high based on facial 1/3 measurements.  By having a hairline lowering procedure and removing the top portion of the forehead skin, this can change the entire dynamic of how you percieve the forehead.

You need to meet with a doctor and get a recommendation from that doctor. From the pictures, I can not give you are recommendation.

You first have to determine if you are really losing hair. Many dermatologists could make a proper evaluation. If you are not losing hair, a hairline lowering operation Maugham very well work for you.
