Should I get forehead reduction to make my head appear smaller? (photo)

Question

I have a really big head and I think this is what makes me look masculine. Will forehead reduction surgery help make my head appear smaller since my forehead is ginormous?

Michael Kulick, MD, DDS · Answer

Yes, by placing the incision at your hairline, your hairline can be lowered so that the distance from your eyebrows to your hairline will be less. This does change the actual size of your head but provides a better balance between the forehead, mid and lower face. 
Hope this helps!

Forehead reduction using the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Hairline Lowering procedure to feminize the face. Yes, this will do just that for you without a noticeable scar and recovery in a week. I invented this 46 years ago and have done more than a thousand without any serious complication other than a pimple. Make sure you see a very experienced surgeon familiar with this technique who can show you dozens of results of the finished hairline!

The best way to answer your question about the effects of hairline advancement on your facial appearance is computer imaging. I don't think it will actually make your head look smaller but will put your facial thirds into better proportion.

And endoscopic brow lift can certainly decrease the size of your forehead and bring the hairline in a lower position. The incision is right at the age of the hairline and performed in a fashion so once it's healed is virtually inconspicuous. Please consult with a plastic surgeon that performs a lot of endoscopic procedures that can give you a more definitive answer and show you the result that you can expect.

You can either do a forehead reduction if the amount of drop of the hairline is no more than one inch and the corners are intact as well as the hairline, otherwise, a hair transplant lower surgery is another option to consider
