Sloping forehead? What are my options? (Photo)

Question

Is my forehead sloped, really high hairline, or both? And what are my options?

Andrew Kornstein, MD, FACS · Answer

Review of your lateral photograph reveals a forehead slope approximating that of your nasal profile, a horizontal forehead depression and a high hairline.Question: do you also have a somewhat low flat eyebrows? Do you use neurotoxins(Botox,etc) to raise your brows?Fat grafting has been used predictably to set off the forehead slope from the nasal profile and create a youthful convex forehead. This has the added benefits of supporting and shaping the brows as well as creating the illusion of a lowered the hairline.Hope this helps.

The sloped upper forehead can be augmented with bone cement for a more convex shape. At the same time the frontal hairline can be advanced. Both can be done through a hairline or pretrichial incision.

Lowering your hairline, whather is achieved by surgically advancing the scalp or by hair transplants, can improve the appearance of your forehead from both the front and the side.  Your scalp flexibility is important to determine  as to whether or not you can have a one stage hairline lowering operation.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

The easiest way to correct your sloping forehead is to lower your very high hairline which would also improve facial proportions. I suggest using the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision that we described many years ago so you have normal uniform density of the hair in the front of your scalp and have total freedom of hair styling.
