I have a very low hairline. Is there any cosmetic surgery that can raise it up a little bit?

Question

I want it to be permanent as well.

Peter Lee, MD, FACS · Answer

The hairline can be raised with a brow lift using a pretrichal incision, which is hidden behind the hairline.  Utilizing a second incision that parallels the contour of the hairline, a segment of hair bearing scalp can be removed.  An open brow lift is then performed via a subgaleal or subperiosteal approach, with release of the temporal line of fusion, the arcus marginalis, lateral orbital ligaments, myotomies of the corrugator and procures muscles, dissection of the branches of the supraorbital and suprtrochlear nerves, and any of the other commonly performed maneuvers that are incorporated in a brow lift.  On closure, the hairline is moved up to its new more posterior position, elevating the brow in the process. By beveling the pretrichal incision, the regrowing hair follicles will grow through the hairline scar, further camouflaging it from view.

A low hairline can be permanently raised through a forehead lift. For her lips can be designed to elevate the hairline and also raise the eyebrows to open the eyes. Not all forehead lifts will raise the hairline significantly. You need to have a thorough consultation to discuss the best technique to raise your hairline.I hope this helps

It is possible to perform surgery to raise a low hairline.  An examination would be needed to determine if you might be a good candidate for such a procedure.

If you have a "pretrichial " incision in front of the hairline it will lower your hairline.A brow lift behind the hairline will raise the hairline. I recommend that you have an endoscopic or open (posttrichial incision) brow lift to raise your hairline.
