Im a 24 year old woman. My forehead is 8cm and has always had an impact on my mentalhealth. I cannot go outdoors without wearing a hat. I have tried a fringe/bangs, but I dislike the hairstyle. I can only find great before and after photos from surgeons that are too far (USA etc ). I need a surgeon closer to home - UK (ideally) or Europe. Bonus if they can do a small hair transplant too for my temples, as my forehead is extremely wide too. But overall, I do want my forehead reduced with surgery.

Answer: Best method to lower hairline with or without a brow lift!
Although I am not a hair graft specialists it looks that hair grafts would do better job than scar excision. You should advance the hairline further. Hope this helps.
In order to achieve hairline elevation of 1,5 cm coronal brow lift with incision placed 3-4 cm behinds the hairline would be good option. In person consultation with a board certified who has experience with this procedure is recommended. Good luck.
You seem to be a generally suitable candidate for forehead reduction surgery, but in order to determine exactly how much can be lowered, a physical examination is necessary. Factors like the elasticity of the scalp, any scars from previous surgery, and skin tension will play a significant role...
